Can You Submit Regular Decision Applications Early?

I'm super eager to submit my applications and was wondering if you can send regular decision applications in ahead of the deadline. Is there any benefit or downside to doing this?

Absolutely, you can submit your regular decision applications ahead of the deadline if you have them ready. There's no penalty for submitting applications early. In fact, it can be advantageous, as you'll give yourself the peace of mind knowing your application is complete and you won't have to worry about any unexpected technical issues or other hiccups as the deadline draws near.

However, don't rush your application just to submit it early. It's important to spend as much time as you need to review your essays, check over application details, and ensure you're submitting your best work. The quality of your application is far more important than the timing of when you submit it. You want your materials to be the best representation of you as a possible candidate for the schools you are applying to. Submitting early can have benefits for you, but doesn't impact your odds of acceptance in any way.

So, if you're ready to hit the submit button and you've ensured everything is in order, you can definitely go for it! But don't sacrifice quality for the sake of turning in your application ahead of time. Good luck!
