Does applying earlier give you a boost?

I would not worry submission date for non-rolling colleges when it comes to admission (obviously you need to independently look for priority deadlines as to scholarships and such).

That said, a few times I saw stray remarks about AOs being able to see when you STARTED working on your College App application. And the idea was if you started it right at the deadline, that might indicate it as a throw-in app.

But even if true, that doesn’t apply to the submission date. Colleges understand you may still be tweaking your applications until the last minute, and that is fine.
