The process your application goes through and what does the deadline mean has been explained lucidly in an article posted by Jessica Daniels in Tufts university Blog ‘Admissions and News updates’ where the article is available.
When we write that the deadline for applications to enroll is January 15, we don’t mean that you need to wait until that day to send the application. In fact, you can send it today! Or tomorrow. Or whenever it’s ready before January 15.
You may ask, “If the deadline isn’t until January 15, why would I send my application early?” That’s a valid question. And the answer is that submitting your part of the application enables you to identify problems, should there be any. Once you submit the application, you can track your on-line recommendations . Once all the on-line recommendations are in place, we’ll upload and print your application, and compile the file, along with test scores and paper recommendations
Should there be a problem, you’ll be able to solve it before the actual deadline. Won’t that peace of mind make it worth a little extra pressure to complete the application a few weeks early?
