When is the best time to apply?
Universities take students in various semesters – Fall, Spring, and Summer. Out of these, the Fall semester has the highest intake. Once you have picked the universities you wish to apply to, you can go to their websites and check application deadlines for each semester. Most universities process applications on a rolling basis which means they evaluate applications in several rounds. These evaluations start before the deadline. So, it is not wise to wait till the deadline to apply. The sooner you apply, the better it is.
