Best Time to Apply?

[CollegeGrl81]

Hello all, just curious if all schools have a minimum timeline as to when applications are due? Does each school have their own application criteria and standards? Or is there a basic process for all?

Criteria and deadlines vary from program to program - I've recently blogged about what round applicants should apply in. You can read more here: https://acceptu.com/2012/08/what-round-s ... plication/.

The Majority of schools (especially those in the US) have three deadlines, the first two being relevant to most candidates (esp. international ones). Round one is usually around October sometime and Round two around January. the ideal time to apply is EARLY. If you can apply to as many schools as you can by R1. Which means that you should have all your applications ready by mid-September. This is ideally, of course!
