<p>Would it hurt or help (or have no effect) to send in my app early even if i am just applying RD? I am a NYS resident and applying to CALS. but i have pretty low stats for any ivy (SAT 1950 = 1330 (m+v), prob like a 93 avg taking basically all of the most challenging courses). Should I hold off until like December to send in my app so i dont compete with the ED people?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Sure it won't hurt, but it won't give you an edge either. Just make sure you've marked your application RD. You won't compete with the ED lot. </p>
<p>You've got tons of time till the RD deadline, so there's no hurry for you. Take your time and make sure you've left nothing out.</p>
