I realize that this certainly varies by school, but is there a pattern? Do most public schools put each new application at the bottom of the pile while private research schools filter for strong applicants, or something?

@gyngyn said something recently about modern software playing a large role in late applicants' potential for review at a certain school. I'm interested in learning more about this. If they are filtered, are they picked out mostly by stats or can other factors also be "read" by softwares?

they're physically printed out and burned in a giant, firey pit.

Anything submitted past June 2nd tags the application with "SDN unapproved."

Every school probably processes applications in their own way. Late applications still get looked at, it's just that your chances of an interview/acceptance are higher when there are more open seats available.
