When do PhD grad applications typically open in the FALL?

[FutureGrad101]

Hi all,

 

My questions pertains to when applications OPEN for admission the following Fall. For instance, applications for Fall 2020 admission to doctoral programs will OPEN in Fall 2019, WHEN? August? September? October? November?

 

 

Thank you,

From my experience, most universities will say on the program websites when applications open up, typically in August or September.

Each application opens at different times. Some are really late. For example, Cal Tech's application for Fall 2019 did not open until October 1st, 2018 and their deadline was December 1st, 2018. Applications usually open a couple of months before their deadline (usually around late August or September). As @tashaonthemoon said, universities typically say on their websites when applications will open. If not, and you don't feel like checking every day, I would contact the Graduate Admissions for that school.
