What does AoE and EoD mean?

Anywhere on Earth and End of Day. It’s basically the last time at which the clock changes to the next day anywhere on earth.

I thought Anywhere on Earth is the last time at which the clock changes to the next day anywhere on earth, and End of Day is just by the end of the day in whichever time zone you're in?

Are the applications rolling?, meaning, should I apply later if I expect my resume to be stronger later, or is applying early preferred?

We'll do early admits for strong candidates. But if you think your resume will become materially stronger closer to the program you're interested in, it's also fine to wait a bit and apply closer to the deadline.
