The 2023 application season has officially begun!
This year, the first-round deadline for master's programs at Washington University in St. Louis's Olin Business School has been moved up to September 21, a full month earlier than previous years!
Universities across the U.S. are also releasing their deadlines.
Unlike undergraduate admissions, where there is a unified application deadline, graduate applications have their own requirements and deadlines depending on the university, school, and even specific program.
The U.S. alone has so many deadlines it's dizzying!
To help you better manage your application timeline, CheersYou（清柚教育） has compiled the currently released Fall 2023 application deadlines for graduate programs at top U.S. universities for your reference.
*Dates are for reference only; please refer to official university websites for final information.
