[Working for new assistant professor]

I'm interested in the research of a new professor who's starting up their lab this month, but i feel like there's lots of uncertainties when working for such a new professor. Is anyone else facing similar decisions or actually worked for a newly started professor?

When is it time to give up hope of being admitted this round ? I currently have no back up so want to work out if I need one.. 

Many schools give out offers on a rolling basis, so don't get disheartened yet ! However, since visiting weekends are mostly organized in March, I'd say end of Feb. would be a good time to wait till.
