<p>are the UCs under a rolling admission application process meaning that if i don't turn my app in earlier than other ppl, i have a lesser chance of acceptance? i know the actual deadline is this friday.....</p>
<p>please answer!</p>
<p>You are not an any disavantage by waiting until Friday, except that you should expect that there will be server problems if you leave it to the last minute, and they may not give an extension.</p>
<p>Don't wait until the last minute.</p>
<p>While no one will actually tell you that it looks bad, it does. Waiting until the last minute with anything is a bad choice, and like anotherparent said, you're more likely to run into problems because the servers get so jammed.</p>
<p>I don't believe the UCs are on Rolling Admissions, but I also know that some of the schools do things differently than others, so research individual schools for a definite answer.</p>
<p>i suggest you turn in your app at least 2~3 days before the deadline...and you should be done with the app by now...and you should be going over stuff to make sure everything is right..</p>
<p>UC's admissions are not rolling. If you wait until the deadline to apply you may encounter UC server gridlock, so get your application in asap.</p>

<p>Nope, it does not. The reader won't even see the date-time stamp, nor will they care.</p>
<p>I agree with blue bayou. There is this overwhelming feeling on these board that, depite the plethora of info in a college app, the adcoms spend a lot of time culling for hidden information - like how soon before the deadline did you send it, and did your recs (for non UCs) fill out each form individually, or did they just xerox, or any number of bascially insignificant packaging info.</p>
<p>^It's called insecurity or college admission anxiety.</p>
