General Question About App Deadlines

[theregalrenegade]

I know the answer to this may be obvious to some, but I want to double-check to make sure I have the time I think I have.

The Univ of Cambridge website states the app deadline as March 31. Does this apply for enrollment in the fall of the same year?

So a March 31 2011 deadline = FaIl 2011 attendance?

And there may be different deadlines for particular colleges within Cambridge and departments. The above date is specifically for the Faculty of History.

I know this applies for most US schools, but maybe the UK has extraordinarily early app dates?

I also understand that there are earlier deadlines for funding, scholarships, and the like...

Anyone know??
