Does applying earlier give you a boost?

Hello,

Basically the title. Say a school’s application due date is November 1st: would sending your application on October 1st give you an advantage over lets say, October 25th? Or does it vary from school to school?

Currently finalizing my apps, but I don’t want to be penalized for submitting it closer to the due date over rushing it in now. And I know at the end of the day you can be like “it should’ve been done by now”; I don’t want to make excuses for myself but I work a job, play a sport and am otherwise bouncing between responsibilities that prevented me from taking a full day to work on college apps
