The next term for which applications for admission to the IDP will be accepted is Fall 2009.  The IDP admits students only in the Fall semester.

This is a calendar of the significant dates in the IDP Admissions process for the class entering in Fall 2009. It lists deadlines, important mailing dates, and the dates we have set aside for interviews. Keep in mind that deadlines are just the last day to accomplish a task. You should be aware that we will begin reviewing applications as soon as they arrive, and start setting up interviews with qualified candidates as soon as possible.

Experience has taught us that the most efficient course a prospective applicant can take is:

Summer to Early Fall 2008:  Take the GRE and (if applicable) TOEFL.

Early to Mid-Fall 2008:  Domestic applicants, submit your request for an application, either electronically or via the U.S. Postal Service. If circumstances require it, you can even fax in your request. International applicants should begin the electronic application process.

Late Fall 2008, before the Christmas Break:  Submit your full application.

January 2009:  Submit your Fall 2007 Semester grades, and any other updated material you would like to have considered.

Annual application deadlines are December 15th for international applications and February 15th for domestic applications (or the following business day if the 15th is on a weekend or holiday).
