Applying early for early action/decision? Forum

[things fall apart]

If you apply even earlier then the deadline for early action/decision is this even more beneficial or is there a date after the cut off when schools evaluate all applicants at once? Im looking at schools from about 15-40.

the earlier the better. adcomms don't wait to amass a huge pile of applications, they make decisions on a rolling basis. I heard back from EA schools that I applied to (two years ago) as early as october.

Apply as early as possible even if youre doing ED. So, if youre applying for this year get your applications out now.

Good luck!
