<p>I've submitted 3 schools to the Common App already: USC, Northwestern, and Rice. Yes, I carefully reviewed everything on my applications and I've had several people read my essays. By sending my applications in so early, does this mean I have a higher chance of getting into these schools?</p>
<p>Absolutely not. They don’t start filing and processing applications until mid October. Review for early doesn’t start until mid November and mid January for regular. So that wasn’t of much benefit for you.</p>
<p>Nope 10char.</p>
<p>I’ve sent teacher recs but not standardized test scores since I’m taking the SAT & ACT one more time. But also, does not applying for scholarship increase ones chances?</p>
