<p>lol How early is relatively early? My application date on Wolverine Access says October 29th, so that’s early response, if that’s what you mean.</p>
<p>i’d say around the first week of october, maybe even earlier…
while you do qualify for ER, it just helps to be as early as possible.
you’re most likely okay though</p>
