If you apply early you certainly improve your chances of gaining acceptance. I got accepted in Dec 1st and boy was that a relief! If your GPA is on the lower end, if you can get a good DAT score, your chances will be improved. Please APPLY EARLY!!!
Good luck!
Reduce your regrets. The future comes slower.
I had a similar GPA and applied late september (submitted). But, I did well on the DAT. I only applied so late b/c my original plan was to take a year off--but t hen I changed my mind after doing well on the DAT @ the end of august. It really depends on your DAT score.
BUT, if I could go back and do it again I would have applied AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. I had to wait until tis month to hear of 2 acceptances when people had multiple acceptances by Dec 1st. It really is stressful and makes you grow a lot of gray hairs.Especially with our low GPAs there is NO guarantee. Also, i Think i may have had a chance at some schools I got rejected from if I had applied in the early batch if files that were reviewed. There is "less" competition in some way for schools that read things on a rolling admissions basis.
Good luck!

Applying early is not a good substitute for mediocre stats.
I think, to some extent, it does help compensate for mediocre stats.
I had my app finished in Aug, and I still feel as though that was too late. Apply on the very FIRST day and your chance will be increased big time!
There must a school out there that places more emphasis on the postmark date than on academic achievement.
Do you mind sharing your DAT scores? Where did you get accepted?
