Each of the five academic terms has an application priority date. To guarantee review of your application for your preferred starting term, apply as early as you can. All application materials, including official transcripts, must be received before the priority date. See the application requirements to learn when an application is considered complete.
Things you should know about application priority dates:
- applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis
- applications received after the priority date may be considered based on space availability. If space is not available, late applications will be reviewed for the next available term.
- the number of students admitted depends on the capacity of each center and the availability of mentors in the applicant's requested area of study.
