It is important that you apply only when you feel your application is as strong as it can be.
- You may apply in any of the 3 application rounds each year.
- If you are considering applying in either Round 1 or Round 2, we strongly encourage you to consider Round 1.
- Over the past few years, we've noticed more applicants applying in Round 2 and, as a result, this round has become bigger and a bit more competitive.
- You should never rush your application. But, on the margin, earlier is better.
- While we admit outstanding individuals in all three rounds, there are some advantages to applying in either the first or second round.
- The ability to receive an aid award from the Financial Aid Office prior to the date by which you must respond to your offer of admission.
- Ample time to complete preliminary quantitative and/or language coursework prior to arrival on campus.
- Access to the on-campus housing lottery and/or Schwab Residential Center housing.
- Sufficient time to complete the visa application process (international students).
- Enables attendance at Admit Weekend. (There is no Admit Weekend for third round admits.)
