[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 218253, member: 42112"] Hello! If a firm specifically says their process is non-rolling, then in principle it means they review all applications only after the deadline, so you won't be disadvantaged by applying later in the window. As a general rule of thumb, I would avoid submitting your application at the last-minute, just because tech issues can happen which can cause a lot of stress. It is always safer to apply earlier rather than on the final day. However, you definitely do not need to rush and can focus on writing a high quality application. I'd aim for a comfortable middle ground - enough time to tailor your answers, but early enough that you are leaving some room for last-minute issues. [/QUOTE]
