philosophe Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 This year's deadline was 1/5. I shouldn't really say deadline, because both years it was like "Although there is no absolute deadline, applications completed by DATE will receive first consideration." I wonder about this as well. I don't know why schools would have mid-December deadlines if they weren't going to do anything with the apps until January, though, since I'm sure they know it would be easier for many students to submit them over the holidays. So I expect something happens with the applications. Maybe not by the actual admissions committee... it could just be people in the grad office preparing them for the department. I expect it's a buffer zone. Just because it's the "application deadline" (to submit the actual application), it can sometimes take weeks for the letters, transcripts, gre scores, etc. to make its way there. I think the deadlines are such that they give it winterbreak to complete, and then they access in January. But that's my just thought.
