How early is too early to send applications?

Everyone says to get your apps in early but no one says how early. I don't finish my undergrad until May 2014 and I want to start library school in Fall 2014, so when should I apply for a February 1st deadline? My GRE is next week so if the scores are good I could send the app in July. Too early you think?

If you have a February 1st deadline, I'd say sometime mid November-early December. I sent everything in January, but I had a March deadline, I believe.

Agreed with previous commenter, Novemberish would be the earliest I'd apply for a February deadline.

Thanks. I'll shoot for the end of November.
