This will sound extremely stupid,but is there any “right” time to start sending apps; like will it be okay if I send applications for early action on 20th October to schools having a deadline on 8th November?i mean, is there any benefit in sending the apps too early…I have a couple of friends who say that they should’ve sent their apps earlier last year which might have given them a better chance
When you send your app in only matters for rolling admission. Otherwise, all decisions are evaluated and released at the same time.
There is a benefit of sending it a few days early…if you wait until a deadline there could be many people also using the system and there could be issues. If you are doing EA or ED, before the deadline is fine.
