How much do late applications hurt?

<p>Not late as in past the deadline, but turning in your application on the DAY/within days of the deadline? Since colleges like U Michigan do rolling admissions and many other schools read the applications through section by section, how much harm does it do to apply late? Does it significantly hurt you?</p>

<p>Any experiences or accounts relating to this topic?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>It will hurt you at rolling admissions school, because you are competing for the few leftover spots. At non rolling schools, it has no bearing on your chances.</p>

<p>I see... thanks!</p>

<p>Private Universities are largely non-rolling right?</p>

<p>Any other viewpoints?</p>

<p>most schools seem to be non-rolling.</p>
