The 2022 application season has officially kicked off, with graduate programs at universities worldwide opening their online application portals in August.
Unlike undergraduate admissions with uniform deadlines, graduate applications have their own requirements and deadlines that vary by university, school, and even specific program.
Just for the U.S., the multitude of deadlines can be overwhelming!
To help you better manage your application timeline, CheersYou（清柚教育） has compiled an incomplete list of Fall 2022 graduate program application deadlines for Top 30 U.S. universities for your reference and bookmarking.
