To be reviewed for a particular period, all application materials must be postmarked by the indicated date and should be submitted together in a single envelope.

All students who meet the postmark date for the review period will have the same chance of earning acceptance to their respective program regardless of whether the application was received at the beginning or the end of the review period.
