Hi everyone,

As the title states, I'm wondering when is the latest an app can be completed to be considered first batch? I know it's not set in stone but I just want to get a general idea.

I read on a website somewhere that it is June 28th. Not sure if that is the deadline for first batch or when they start giving out interviews.

Your chances of getting accepted aren't going to be greatly increased by being in the first batch, so really what is the point?


edit: I just realized that was salty. Just submit before Mid July and you will be fine.

I also second the notion that one should focus more on getting everything submitted before August than obsessing with being on the first batch. Frankly, this whole rolling admissions thing is just odd. They should do away with it and stick with the good ole undergrad admissions system of strict deadlines so that every applicant in a particular cycle can be compared side-by-side.

well some schools have 1000+ applications to review so that would be a bit much.

Take a look at last year's thread to get an idea, the first batch went out June 20th last cycle.
