<p>as more applications come in, do chances of one getting admitted decrease? does that make sense? basically do i have a better chance getting in if i send my application in earlier than the deadline?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>No - what you're referring to is Rolling Admissions, which doesn't apply to the UCs since they don't start looking at the applications until after all of them are in, i.e. after the due date... Michigan and a few other state schools do that, though.</p>
