Many students habitually cut things close to the wire, and they extend that habit to the college application process. But even if you do not plan to apply “early” to a college, there are advantages to getting your application in well before the deadline.

Used at many state universities, like the University of Michigan, and some less selective private colleges, rolling admission allows a college to accept qualified students up until the freshman class is full. Clearly, applying early is better than applying at or close to the deadline so that your application will be considered while there is still room.
