First-Year Application Deadlines
A completed application and all required supplemental documents (e.g., official transcripts, official test scores, and portfolio) must be submitted before your application deadline.
The application deadline is a received-by date, not a postmarked date, so please give yourself ample time to submit your documents prior to the deadline.
First-year applicants may apply for Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision, or for Winter Entry. Learn more about Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision and the Winter Entry Program.
Note: Applicants to the BA/BS+MD Early Assurance program may only apply for Early Action or Regular Decision and will be required to submit standardized test scores for consideration.

| Immediately upon confirming (International admitted students only) | We strongly recommend that admitted first-year winter entry international students submit their I-20/DS-2019 applications as soon as possible after confirming their enrollment to the University. Doing so will allow them sufficient time to receive their I-20/DS-2019s, obtain their student visas at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate abroad, and arrive in the U.S. to start their programs. Applying later may cause visa application delays and impact their ability to start their program as planned. |
