What exactly does applying early mean?

Hi, does applying early simply mean e-submitting AADSAS early, or does it mean e-submitting PLUS all your materials are in (i.e. LOE, DAT scores, official transcript)?

Ok, another stupid question just popped into my head. When someone posts their scores in ##/##/## format....what does it mean? I know it's something like AA/TS and something else....but what do those abbreviations mean?

Numbers usually mean AA/TS/PAT, at least that's how it is on Predents.

Early usually means apply to AASDAS to get the very slow ball that is AADSAS rolling.

Schools don't start reviewing your app until they receive everything.

For DAT scores, ##/##/## usually means AA/TS/PAT.
AA stands for Academic Average, avg of three sci sections, RC and QR.
TS stands for total science.
