Why are so many applications opening in Jan??

I was under the impression that most of the applications would open in Feb/Mar. Why have almost half of the major EB/BBs opened applications literally days into the new year?? In what world are people supposed to network within such a short time frame... I'm scrambling right now because I was planning to do the bulk of my networking in the months of January and February.

If it says networking, it's US.

Unless mentioned specifically, no one cares about the UK. Always assume US.
