Any stats on applicant apply date relative to the deadline and the acceptance rate?

I've heard that earlier applications give more time for alums (who review submissions) to check out the demos. On the flip side, spending more time on polishing the application could help as well.

Don't think too much about that. Just build an amazing product that users love and the rest takes care of itself.

I'm not asking from an applicant's perspective. I've got no interest in applying.

I'm asking out of pure curiosity.

from the application page:

"Groups that submit early have a small advantage because we have more time to read their applications."
