[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean early action or just submitting the application early. If the former, then the benefit is that your DC will hear earlier. The downside is that if you have a good senior fall it won't be counted - that's only important if you need to show he continuation of an upward trajectory or there is some other blemish in the earlier years.

Another benefit of early action at some schools is that it gives you time to apply for additional programs. At Michigan, for example, you can't apply for the Honors program until you've been accepted, and honors admission is on a rolling basis so it's much better to be able to apply early in the cycle.

If the latter then it varies  a little bit by school. For some there is no benefit. Others have earlier deadlines to be considered for merit aid (I recall Wake Forest being one of these). Others may consider applications on a rolling basis - this is most common at large state schools.[/quote]

OP here.  I'm referring to the latter - just submitting early.  Is there any upside to submitting early at schools that (1) have no EA deadline; and (2) give merit aid (and have no earlier deadline for being considered for merit aid)?[/quote]
