What is my response deadline to an offer of admission?
You have until April 15 to decide whether to accept or decline our offer of admission if you are offered financial aid. Please note that in accordance with a resolution of the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States, you have until April 15 to decide whether to accept any financial aid award by any institution. You may also decline an offer that you have previously accepted anytime until April 15 without penalty. This resolution protects your right to choose the best offer. Some institutions may request that you decide earlier than April 15, so that they can offer funds to another applicant if you decline their offer. If you are admitted without financial aid, you have until May 1 to respond to our offer.
