Honors Application Deadline/Chances

Hi all! Will applying to LSA Honors later decrease my chances of being admitted? I could churn out the essays by February 5 but I’d rather write better essays by the March deadline; however, that would be the third wave of decisions. Am I at a disadvatage by applying in this third wave? Does it get harder to get into Honors the later I apply?

Thank you!

(I got into LSA early action in December if that has any impact.)

They are saying apply as soon as possible since seats are limited. There is your answer.
