general timeline for "early/average/late" completions?

[kindred4545]

i'm an average matriculated applicant with a 3.67 gpa and a 510 mcat who's applying broadly to around 30 schools. i estimate i'll have letters and secondaries completed to them by August 10th at the latest. is this considered early, average, or late (in comparison to the normal population, not the SDN population). i'm so confused as many people on these forums are saying it's early, but some are saying it's late.

I'll de done around the same time. I wouldn't worry about it. Goro usually says that by Labor Day it's okay.

This is early.

July is very early
August is still early
Sept is normal (early Sept preferable to late Sept though)
October is late
Nov is very late (many places stop accepting apps during late Oct and Nov)
