I applied EA for fall '11, and the deadline was March 1st. I had all of my app stuff (essays, transcripts, etc) in well before the deadline, but I didn’t take the GSAE until March 27th (because I live in L.A. and that was the earliest available one in the region). GS Admissions said I still totally qualified for EA because I had everything else in before the deadline. (They even had a one week grace period for anyone who was missing anything.) Of course I’m not an adcom so I can’t guarantee that, but that was my experience. I think you’ll be totally fine because you take the GSAE before the deadline anyway.
