Agree that it is always better to apply earlier rather than later for CBS. So, since you are in the most overrepresented demographic bucket, it might be tough. Honestly, though, it depends on the quality of your materials and what you're bringing to the table, so it's hard to make generalizations like this. I think you should still submit if you feel like your materials are strong.

When all the people that has received a response applied? September? October? November? Many thanks Posted from my mobile device

so now that invites are rolling out, should we expect them to come out once a week? or is this truly rolling and they'll trickle from now on. any context would be greatly appreciated.
