How early is considered "early" to be complete?

For example, having the AMCAS submitted by mid-June is usually considered early. When is the analogous "early" time to be complete? My school only sends the committee letter out on Aug 15...

personally, I think Aug 1 is preferable but Sept 1 is still early (as far as complete, post-secondary)

I think if you're complete by the time school starts in the fall, you're on the 'early' train. This, of course, only applies to schools who send out their secondaries before school starts.

Get your secondary, and submit it within 3 weeks. That is early. Have the rest of your stuff into them before or ASAHP.

It's my goal to be done and complete everywhere by August 1st....cause I'm taking time off work and going on a two week road trip after early August (and will REALLY not want to fill out applications while traveling). As long as you submit early and start on secondaries soon (the prompts are available from last year, which should be the same as this year), you should be set for August 15th.

Submit your amcas by the end of june, and complete secondaries withing 3 days of getting them, and definitely within a week if they start piling up.
