Sending it earlier than expected?

Applying to College

<p>If some college had a registration deadline in January but I send it in in October, will that affect my chances of getting into that school even if they dont have any EA or ED plans?</p>

<p>Or do colleges that have January deadlines just stuff applications somewhere and never evaluate them until January?</p>

<p>If the school has rolling admissions, then yes, it would benefit you. If they just have RD, then it won't make a difference, since they won't start looking at the applications until the deadline.
That's my understanding of it.</p>
