I don't think it's early, but submitting in mid-August should be ok. You could get a few pre-Dec interviews if you don't have red flags

what are possible red flags?

Incarceration.

do you guys think being charged by the school for disorderly conduct but found not responsible, a red flag?

I dont think so. I think it's something they'll raise an eyebrow at but nothing serious. IMO

Depends on your stats and the rest of your application. If you have a strong GPA and solid ECs then you have a decent chance. If your application is weaker well...we can't really predict.
