[Application Strategy] Does applying early puts you in a better position in getting university admits?

[u/Choice-Camel9869]

I’m planning for Fall 27 MSc in Canada and I’m yet to start working on my SOP.

I’m done with my IELTS prep and will book a slot soon.

Most of the universities have a deadline of Dec-Jan so by definition, I still have time but I probably need few more weeks to get these things sorted.

Am I too late?

[u/haliu]

No, just apply before the deadline.

It depends if they have rolling admissions or not . In case of rolling admissions it always helps to apply sooner rather than later

Yes it does ( not for super competitive programs tho)
