Prospective students should consult the Notes for Applicants section of this brochure for current details on application requirements and deadlines. In particular, we strongly encourage applicants to submit all hard copy materials that must be sent to the Graduate School (e.g., transcripts) by mid-December, so that they will be processed in time for the early January due date. Note that it is no longer necessary to submit the initial on-line application form a few weeks early, but it is still strongly recommended to submit this initial form at least a week before the due date..
