Does applying earlier give you a boost?

I have a bit of a contrarian view here. While there is not a structural advantage if it is not a rolling admissions school, unless the AO’s don’t read apps until after the deadline date, from a practical point of view I would rather have my app being read by AO’s before the flood of apps come in around the deadline while they are still relatively “fresh” and not overwhelmed by having to meet their internal deadlines to get evals submitted.
