Deadlines

[PhDEducation]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if others with more knowledge on the subject can explain that while it seems most schools have a December of January deadline for doctoral programs why some would have a March deadline.

Often this is determined by the tier a school is in. It gives students turned down by Tier 1 institutions time to apply elsewhere if their first choices say now.

Thanks, I was thinking along those lines as well but was looking for confirmation
