Does sending the app in closer to the deadline affect admissions?

<p>As opposed to sending in the app a week early, does sending the app on the night it's due become a negative factor? My mom keeps stressing about how I won't get in because admission officers frown upon sending it in on the deadline and not before. I admit I did this with at least one of my apps... I hope nothing happens. Thoughts?</p>

<p>I don't believe so.......... </p>

<p>I only think that's for rolling admissions, where students just continually fill the spots.</p>

<p>Regular admissions look at the entire pool twice, I think (once for EA/ED and once for RD.)</p>
