<p>I heard that applications are almost first come first serve, but I’m not sure if this is true. I also heard that if you turn it in early enough you can have an “open application,” i.e. they can accept you at any time. My friend has an open application to Exeter. This may be for those applying for higher grades though, as they probably know how many openings they will have already. It was sort of nice to get it done though, so the weight was off my shoulders and I could continue to concentrate on school. I am planning on telling them in the interview. Maybe we will both end up there! I hope.</p>
