Hi all. I've been reading the exchanges between members for a while now and was hoping for a little advice myself. Thanks in advance!

I'm planning on applying to postbac programs that begin in the Fall of 2006 and noticed that most apps are accepted based on a "rolling" basis. I am living abroad and will take my GREs in February, which is past the time when most schools begin accepting apps. This means I will probably submit in March/ April. Does anyone know if this will put me at a disadvantage? The last month to submit is usually May(Bryn Mawr) or July (UPenn).

Good luck with all of your endeavors.
