<p>If you decide you are applying early action or priority, will you hear from colleges faster if you apply very early? So if the they have a Nov 1 deadline for EA and you apply Oct 1, will you hear before people that apply in late October. I realized it may vary from school to school, so I am specifically curious about: Clemson, UCONN, Loyola Maryland, UMaryland, Penn State, Providence, and Villanova. Thank you</p>
<p>If the school has rolling admissions, you will likely find out earlier. If the school has Early Action, you will find out on the notification deadline regardless of how long before the submission deadline you apply.</p>
