Timing
I know a lot of these schools have deadlines for Feb 1, but if I want a good shot of getting into Columbia, NYU, Stanford, Harvard, etc. should I get my applications in earlier? And how much earlier? My stats are 170, 3.7 from an Ivy, URM. Thanks.

Re: Timing
You're not too late. Just get them is ASAP. Schools accept most students well in advance of that deadline. Ideally, your apps should have been submitted already.

Re: Timing
you mean for next year right?
this time in my app cycle i was already in at several schools :/ get those apps in ASAP, before thanksgiving is generally preferable but you still have time. lots of schools do rolling admissions.

Re: Timing
Right, if I want to attend for the fall of 2012. I was planning on having them all submitted by Dec. 10 (I work two jobs and have very little spare time). Is it urgent enough that I should push that up to December 1?

Re: Timing
Best way to put it is:
12/10 flawless applications > 12/1 unpolished applications
So just send out your applications the minute you feel they are your best work.
