Why apply early

  • Ensures you have ample time for necessary documentation (transcripts, recommendations, visas if applicable).
  • Maximizes your chance of securing admission and potential funding or scholarship opportunities.
  • Allows for better planning — from housing to course registration, and orientation scheduling.
