Here’s what Carnegie says:
The early deadline is November 20, 2024 at 3:00p.m. EST and the regular deadline is December 11, 2024 at 3:00p.m. EST. The only benefit of the early deadline is a reduced application fee. Applications will not be reviewed until after the regular deadline on December 11, 2024.
Does it still help to apply early because it’s demonstrated interest?
