apply 2 wks before summer deadline or early for fall?

Dear johnimoto,

I guess it depends on what your application looks like relative to the pool. If you believe you are a really strong candidate for the school and will stand out from the rest of the applicants, then applying at the last minute might work out fine. However, if you are an average candidate or weak on a measure, then I think your chances of gaining admission decrease as the admissions cycle progresses and seats are awarded. You can always talk to Booth directly to determine what applications are looking like this year, if there has been an increase for the part-time program. If applications are up, then that would tell you the number of seats available is probably very, very few.

Good luck,
Lisa
