Deadline of Biostat Graduate Programs

[DiaryofNewton]

Hey Guys,

I am an international student, and I'm gonna apply for several biostat programs. Some of the biostat application should be completed first on SOPHAS. I got a program whose deadline is Dec. 1st.  I'm confused about what the deadline means. Is it the deadline for e-submission, or the one for the arrival of all my materials(WES evaluation, GT Scores, etc)? 

Now the case is that my WES evaluation is delayed so it might arrive  at SOPHAS a little bit later than the deadline, will that influence my application? 

Hope anyone could offer me a clue on this! Thanks Very Much!!

SOPHAS says to try to make sure everything is posted to your application before the deadline (transcripts, test scores, etc). https://sophas.org/faqs/

Some programs do appear to offer some wiggle room for things arriving late, but this may be a case by case situation. https://help.liaisonedu.com/SOPHAS_Applicant_Help_Center/Submitting_and_Monitoring_Your_SOPHAS_Application/Before_and_After_You_Submit_Your_SOPHAS_Application/01_Submitting_and_Completing_Your_SOPHAS_Application

If you think these will arrive after the deadline, you should contact the programs now and ask.

Usually, December 1st is the deadline for your application being e-submitted. It's OK if some materials arrive after, but obviously you want them to show up as early as possible.
