The 2024 application season has officially kicked off, and online applications at major universities are in full swing!
Universities across the U.S. are also announcing their deadline dates, and many programs have seen changes compared to last year, for instance, some programs at the USC School of Communication have been moved up by an entire month!
Unlike undergraduate admissions which have uniform application deadlines, graduate applications vary by university, by school, and even down to each specific program, each with its own requirements and deadlines.
Just for the U.S. alone, the multitude of deadlines is dizzying!
To help you better manage your application timeline, CheersYou（清柚教育） has compiled an incomplete list of the currently announced application deadlines for graduate programs at top U.S. universities for Fall 2024 for your reference and bookmarking.
*Date information is for reference only; please refer to the final information on university official websites.
