Tips to Stay Ahead of Deadlines
Make a spreadsheet with deadlines, requirements, test dates, and funding windows for each school.
Many departments require internal deadlines (e.g. for PhD funding) before the official deadline — watch those closely.
Request recommendation letters well in advance (6–8 weeks ahead) so your referees have enough time.
Submit standardized test scores, transcripts, and essays early to avoid technical issues or delays.
Keep copies of all submissions and confirmations of application receipts.
Notice: These deadlines are for planning purposes and may change depending on departments or funding cycles. Always verify directly with the university program’s admissions office.
