<p>Someone mentioned that with ED, it is good to turn it in even before Nov 1. Apparently they think it shows more interest in the school. Is this really true? Wouldn't just doing ED show the interest? For example, is there any benefit to submitting your application on Oct. 24 vs. Oct 30? </p>
<p>You’re already commiting to going to Columbia if you’re accepted. Hard to show more interest than that. Submitting the app six days earlier won’t make a bit of difference.</p>
<p>There is no further benefit with applying on October 24.</p>
<p>Thanks! That makes me feel better as I could use the extra days to review my application and make sure I included everything I want to say.</p>
