Right time to apply for US Universities
Most universities in the U.S. accept applications only two times in
a calendar year. Before we discuss that, let me give you a brief breakdown
of the academic year as. The academic year is usually divided
into 4 semesters - Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. The semesters are
usually 13 weeks long but this is not a hard and fast constraint. The Fall
semester starts somewhere between August and September and ends in
late December or early January. The Spring semester starts in January
and ends inMay. The Summer semester starts in lateMay or early June
and ends just before the Fall semester begins. Not all universities have
a winter semester but if they do, it is a very short semester squeezed
between the Fall and the Spring semesters. The semesters correspond
very roughly with the eponymous seasons.
Now on to the actual answer of this question. Most universities will accept
admission applications for the Fall and the Spring semesters of the
academic year. Please beware, the some universities only entertain applications
for the Fall semester.
