Applying Early

Is there an advantage of applying early? Or is it an equal consideration?

Most Universities say they give equal consideration, but it can only help you to apply earlier. It demonstrates you are committed and can manage your time well.
All i can say is don't rush it, but don't overthink it (I know it's hard to do)

As long as you meet the deadline then you’ll get equal consideration.

Make sure that your reference has plenty of time to be added before the deadline - without a reference your application can’t be submitted.

Universities know that applicants don’t control when their application is submitted - that’s down to the school/college. Applying early doesn’t demonstrate commitment or time management by the applicant and gives no advantage.
