I'm a Canadian student, but I'd like to attend Tulane, and am considering other US schools.
I will be applying to some schools here in Canada (all the big ones: UBC, UofA, UofT, etc), but I'd really like to go elsewhere just because I enjoy traveling and living in different places. I discovered Tulane because a prof that teaches at my school graduated from there, and I really love their global perspective, especially the opportunity to do electives in Africa or South America.
I've seen lots of people talk about how applying early is so important in the US. Why?!
Here, all the applications are due Oct/Nov and that's it.. there's no benefit to applying earlier than later because everyone's considered equally after the last day to submit.
Is it really important to send in US applications in the first day you can?
Does this mean I should have everything ready for Tulane by June 1 (for matriculation in September 2010 -- I'm in my 3rd year right now, and want to finish my bachelor's degree).
Also, I don't really know how competitive Tulane is..? Does anyone go there or been interviewed there that can give me some insight?
