Early Action vs. Regular Admission

I think MIT imposes a strict % of accepts during EA season to make sure that there is no advantage to applying early. Most schools do not, as they want to be holistic about the process. I don’t think Harvard intended to give early applicants any edge. It’s just the way it turned out.

I think in court, the judge has to get tired of the SOS (same old stories ?) as the day goes on and I certainly can see where you are at a disadvantage later in the day. You start each day with some hope things are going to go just fine and give it all a fair ear but after a while, things get old. You don’t want to be the 1000th essay on the same hackneyed story.
