<p>is there such a date known? next year when i will apply, i want to send it THAT DAY.</p>
<p>I think the application was released in August, but it makes no difference to hand it in too early. The deadline is/will be 11/1.</p>
<p>Yeah, the application becomes available in August. As soon as it's up, you're free to submit it. It wouldn't be advantageous to complete the app in one day and submit it just to be the first. The UNC app is very involved and requires a lot of time and thought. Take your time with it, and as long as you get it in by the deadline, you'll be fine.</p>
<p>This year they posted the essay topics before they released the application.</p>
