As the end of September brings cooler weather, social media has suddenly been flooded with posts showing off the first fall milk tea, sweetly kicking off the new season.

But don't just focus on milk tea now. Autumn has arrived, and university application systems around the world are opening one after another. Did you think Fall 2021 applications were still far off? No more procrastinating. The first round of fall applications is already here!
Take Columbia University's SIPA for instance: the application systems for Spring, Summer, and Fall 2021 admission are now open, and you can start submitting your materials. Other schools at Columbia have also basically opened their Fall 2021 application systems.

NYU, also in New York, has begun accepting Fall 2021 applications. For example, NYU's Tandon School of Engineering now allows you to create accounts and apply for Fall 2021 programs.

Moreover, some schools have already closed their first round of fall applications! For example, the University of Chicago's MBA program had its first-round deadline on September 24. This year, due to the pandemic, MBA applications have been flooding in early, and later rounds will be even more competitive.

You may think there's still time, but that's just your perception! While you're having milk tea and putting on fall weight, it's actually the perfect time to start applying!
Have you gotten your GRE scores yet?
Have you secured your recommendation letters?
Have you polished your resume?
Have you started on your essays?
…………
After these soul-searching questions, are you still only thinking about milk tea?
Not only that, but those considering applying to UK schools need to pay even more attention.
Many UK universities don't have strict application deadlines for graduate programs, using a rolling admissions process, and they close when they're full.
This year, due to the pandemic and favorable policies for studying in the UK, the number of applicants for UK schools will surge significantly! For instance, the University of Edinburgh had over 60,000 applicants for the 2020 admission cycle, and competition will be even more intense this year. In such circumstances, submitting your application early rather than late is crucial.
Similarly, institutions in Canada and Hong Kong have also opened their application systems early. For example, the University of Hong Kong started accepting applications for Fall 2021 graduate programs on September 1 this year.

At the University of Toronto, some graduate programs, like the MMPA master's, also opened their application portals on September 1.
Most schools' fall application systems are now gradually opening. Remember to check precisely the application windows for your desired programs and don't miss your dream school's deadlines.
Additionally, even schools that haven't opened their applications yet will start accepting them soon. For instance, some Harvard graduate programs will open their application systems at the end of September—just around the corner.
As fall arrives, the new application season has officially begun. While having fun, don't forget to actively prepare your materials and submit your applications as soon as possible!
