Records should be submitted for all post-secondary schools attended and should provide a list of courses taken, yearly examination results, and conferral of degrees. Request letters of recommendation as required by the institution. These letters should generally be written by professors with whom you have studied or current or past employers. Submit verification of scholarship or other financial support as requested by the institution. Note the application deadlines given in the information you receive.
Deadlines vary from institution to institution.
Allow time for mail delays, application consideration, and for obtaining your passport and visa. Stated application deadlines are generally the final date for receipt of applications and all supporting credentials. Additional time is required to process applications from international students. Allow 6-8 weeks after your application file is complete to receive admission decisions from the institution you have applied to. Many schools and departments, however, send admission offers only in March and April.
