Does sending in a RD early help?

<p>The application deadline for Regular Decision is December 31st.
1. Does it make any difference when a RD application is submitted as long as it is before December 31st?
2. Do they even at any RD applications before December 31st?</p>

<p>I doubt it for both of your questions.</p>

<p>But why would you want to send it in really early? Don’t you want to review your app and make it the best it can be?</p>

<p>There is no advantage in applying really early. (Unless you are like the kid last year that applied to NYU just a couple of hours after the common app became active and he just got an interview by CNN that he couldn’t write about in his app because he already sent it in.)</p>
