University applications checking

Hi, do you think universities like LSE or others good universities checks all applications? because 🙂 I hear that when is to many applications, system are overloaded and who sent later for example, not from September but applied in December or January, the system does not have time to check in time they are automatically rejected because there are so many applications anyway 🤔

In Ucas it says any application sent before januray 14 are considered equally and applications sent after this date is handled differently and can only be given a place if the course still has sufficient seats or they have matched or exceeded their requirements. exceptional reasons.
The Reject By Default (RBD) date for pre-Jan deadline applications isn't until May.

A small handful of apps might get to that date and get automatically rejected, (and one or two unis are historically bad at it), but in reality 99.99% of apps get a decision by that date.
