Hi Subhash,
Fall intake is considered the primary intake for international students planning for the USA. Application deadlines for fall intake range from November to February, depending on the university and the program. A general timeline for Fall 2025 intake:
Application Period: From November 2024 to February 2025. However, some universities may have early deadlines or rolling admissions.
Decision: Applicants can expect to receive admission decisions between March and April 2025.
Acceptance and Enrollment: Accepted students are usually required to confirm their enrollment by May 1, 2025.
Examples of University Deadlines for Fall 2025:
1. Harvard University: January 1, 2025
2. Stanford University: December 1, 2024
3. University of Chicago: January 2, 2025
4. New York University: January 5, 2025
5. University of Southern California: January 15, 2025
These dates are indicative and can vary by the program.
Given that it's currently January 2, 2025, many application deadlines are over. If you have not applied, I would suggest that you aim for the Fall 2026 intake. Applying early can have various benefits, if are struggling in any way for the same, it would be best to consult with a study abroad expert. They can guide you throughout the application process, with the admissions, and choosing the best universities according to your goals.
