ARE STUDENTS ADMITTED ONLY FOR THE START OF A NEW ACADEMIC YEAR (FALL TERM/SEPTEMBER)?
To maximize the chances of admission with financial assistance, your complete application and supporting materials should reach us by February 1 (but January 15 is better). The allocation of assistantships, the sequence of courses and mentor selection of students are organized around the assumption of a Fall Term start date. Students can be admitted at other times, but most are not.
