Does sending applications in early confer advantage in the admissions process?

I would not be surprised to see an advantage at colleges that look at demonstrated interest. It seems an early application before a deadline could be seen as demonstrating interest. I don’t know if this is true, but given there are so many potential criteria that colleges use to see demonstrated interest (the admissions dean at Conn College has noted that there are 50+ datapoints, but they won’t tell you what they are), it wouldn’t surprise me.
