<p>I've already submitted the Candidate Profile and everything, but I will need all the time i can get to finish the actual application. Do the admissions officers look at application when they come in or do they wait until all the applications have gone in? I have a vision of all the spots being filled by the time my applications is submitted.</p>
<p>They don’t start reading the applications until after the deadline. Get it in by then and you’re fine. And spots are not filled on a “first come, first served” basis! Relax and go back to your essay writing . . . :)</p>
<p>Although we’re not applying to NMH, in an email received from them today they say their application deadline is February 1 but they start reading the completed apps they have in hand this month and continue through Feb. That said, I doubt it affects acceptance.</p>
<p>Great, thanks for the advice</p>
