    Frequently asked questions

    Is acceptance under a regular decision deadline binding?

    No, in case of a regular decision, the university will send an admit letter that can be either approved or rejected by the student in the given period of time. This is usually 8 - 10 weeks. 

    What are the implications if I fail to meet the application deadline for the US university?

    Suppose you missed the early action deadline then in this case you can apply for the regular deadline. In case you have missed the regular deadline then you can look out for a rolling deadline and then can apply for it. In case this is not an option then you can see if the university accepts admission for your course in the next intake or not.

    How many intakes are there for US universities?

    There are 3 intakes for US university admission - Spring Intake, Fall Intake, and Summer Intake. 

    Which intake for US universities is best for international students?

    When it comes to preference, it is recommended that you focus more on the fall intake as the majority of the university in the USA opens their admission to popular courses in this intake. The second-in-line preference should be given to the spring intake because few popular courses are available in this intake as well. Summer intake is the least preferred because there are very limited universities and courses that are open for this intake.

    Is GRE required in the upcoming spring intake of 2024?

    Yes, the GRE will be required and is a mandatory requirement for many universities and courses. There are a few American universities that have waived off GRE scores from their eligibility which you can cross-check from the given eligibility criteria on their official websites.
