What is considered applying early?

[FosterWallace]

I am going to be submitting my AADSAS application by the end of this week. Is this still considered early? I’m worried because last year I didn’t get to submit until late August because of a hold up with my letters and I feel it really held me back from getting interviews. I feel late because it’s already July but I’m thinking I’m alright because the cycle didn’t open until mid-June...

thoughts?

You can't submit any earlier so there's no use worrying about it. I'd just submit asap because although the cycle opened mid-June, it soft opened in May, allowing people plenty of time to get their app together in order to submit it immediately on June 16th.

Yes you’re still early. Submitting within two weeks, puts you among the first group(s) of candidates they’ll review and select for interview.
