[quote=Anonymous]To OP, why not apply under the late cycle since it's available? No downside if you're interested.

If my child were an existing applicant, I can't imagine that a late deadline would be encouraging to me. Adding a formalized late cycle means more competition for the same number of limited spots. I'm sure all schools get one-off late applicants, but if the school is designing an official process for it, I would think it will get more of them than normal. And clearly the school wants more applicants, and (slightly different point) already knows at this point in the cycle that it wants more applicants.

Based on the dates, I'm assuming the school will mostly evaluate the current pipeline, make a pre-final decision on most applicants, wait until February to compare original applicants who are on the cusp to the late applicants, and then notify everyone at once in March. Maybe a really solid late pool could disrupt a few of the original definites as well.

Most of my comment here is total speculation so take it for what you will.[/quote]
