Question from Anand about response time about admission decision from Graduate School
I am Anand.My score details are as follows:-
- GRE:-1320
- TOEFL:- 111/120
I had applied for 5 universities for the spring 2010 intake and they are:- USC, U texas dallas, ASU,V tech and TAMU. Though I applied as early as early August 2009, till now (ie Oct 2009) I haven’t received any response from any of the universities. Could u kindly tell me a tentative time when I can expect the universities to start responding. I am a lil concerned due to the delay. I am also thinking of applying again for the Fall of 2010.
University Admission Decision
You have to understand the Graduate School Admission process (What happens after you submit your college admission application)
- Typically it will take 2 to 4 months for Universities to respond to international students.
- Response time also depends on type of admission deadlines followed by the Universities ( Hard Deadline or Rolling Admissions)
University Hard Admission Deadlines
- Example – When University specifies Deadlines as Nov 2, 2009 or Jan 15, 2009.
- All the Graduate School application will be collected till the deadline .
- application packet will be processed after deadline or all admission documents are required ( Application Fee, Test Scores, ..)
- It will take 2 to 4 months after the deadline for US Universities to reach a decision.
Rolling Admission Deadline
- Universities process the application as they receive.
- Will take 2 to 4 months from the date universities receive all your admission documents
- If you apply too early, they will wait before your application will be even opened and processed.
Read about 5 Ways to Check Graduate School Application Status and go back to all the Universities website and check the deadlines and admission policies and calculate when you can expect to receive response from the Universities.
Suggestion – I would wait till you hear back from all the universities, before applying for Fall 2010 semester. Try to find the admission status by following any of 5 ways. Have lots of HOPE and POSITIVE THINKING.

Yeah its true.In UCB they start accepting applications
from Sept 1st week till end of Dec. But they start
evaluating each profile only in the second week of Jan.
And then it will take atleast 2 more months for them
to respond

It is quite impressive article.thanks for showering us with hope.
yes student should must spend some time to check up the required information from the concerned university which he/she applying.
the young friends in their hurry refuses to spend searching.
this attitude must be of pathfinder.
thanks HSB
