OK to apply to NEU now for RD? Or wait until semester ends?

D is pretty much ready to go for her app to NEU via Common App, but we are not sure if she should wait until the semester ends. GPA isn’t likely to change much and is strong (although obviously there are no guarantees and NE is selective), but she is feeling pressure like she just wants to get some apps out rather than submitted a lot for 1/1. She didn’t apply EA b/c she applied SCEA elsewhere. Go for it now or wait? Will admissions ask for an update if she submits now? Any benefit to applying early?

She can submit her part now and then first semester grades would be submitted by the school whenever she submits them. Her timing of her application won’t affect which grades the college gets unless she applied EA.

Thanks! I think she might have accidentally requested transcripts in Naviance be sent everywhere, and it looks like her HS already sent them. I guess the school can ask us/them for an update if they want one. Our HS looks like they already sent transcripts to every college on her list.
