I decided I'm going to do early decision with Cornell. Round 1 began on September 1st and ends on November 1st, and Round 2 begins November 2nd and ends on January 8, 2018.
I'm not really sure, then, what would be better: applying late in Round 1 or applying early in Round 2.
On one hand, if I apply late in Round 1, then it would certainly be earlier than applying Round 2 if there is no distinction between rounds.
However, if the applications are categorized "by round," then it seems clear to me that it would be better to apply early in Round 2.
I hope my reasoning makes sense. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Cornell's website has this to say:
WHEN SHOULD I APPLY?
Applications are reviewed in order of completion by our Admissions Committee, but applicants are not always notified in that order. We recommend submitting your application as early as possible.
