Does applying early matter for aviation colleges?

Looking to go the the part 141 route for training and have seen some people talk about needing to apply as early as possible for aviation colleges, is this true for some and/or all aviation colleges?

I got denied from UND as a transfer applicant in January and I attribute that to my late-ish application. They were already overfilled with students and it seemed like the only ones that got in for fall 2026 were those that applied the day it opened. I can’t speak for the other colleges though

Then consider this for funding aviation colleges

I know at most, specifically the ones that have smaller flight programs, the only way to get in is applying in early decision.

Depends. I know for ERAU it currently matters, I've heard the AS major (piloting major) for Fall 2026 got filled within a week or two of the application opening.

I'm sure it's true for some.
Why do you think you need or want a collegiate aviation program?
