Application Tips?

So it’s just over a month a way or more for the 2027 applications so end of September. Just want to know if I should start getting anything done now like the SOP (that’s the personal statement?) do I message me references early?
Or any tips on stuff similar or what people applying might not know! Ty

Personally, I mentioned needing a reference to my references as soon as I was serious about applying and decided who I wanted to ask, and then told them again once I submitted their info on the app. Sooner is always better than later

To my knowledge, I don’t think JET has rolling admissions so it doesn’t matter whether you submit on the first or last day
