Application Deadlines
Early action program for MPH applicants only:
To receive consideration for first-round School of Public Health scholarships, applications must be completed, with all required supporting documentation, by December 1. Applicants meeting the December 1 priority deadline will be considered for a range of School of Public Health scholarships. Applications submitted/completed after December 1 will be given scholarship consideration based on the availability of funds.
Early action is non-binding and non-restrictive. Students choosing to apply by the early action deadline need to submit their application materials earlier in the process and will receive an admission decision sooner than regular decision applicants.
Scholarships continue to be awarded as they are available after the early action deadline.
Deadlines by Program
To meet the stated deadline using the online centralized application services SOPHAS, applicants must submit their application with all required supporting documents and pay the application fee by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
We recommend regularly reviewing the status of your application on the SOPHAS website. We also encourage applicants to submit their application and send supporting documentation at least two weeks before the stated deadlines to allow for any issues/problems that may arise.
As long as you submit your application, all required materials, and the application fee by the deadline, your application will be considered on time, even if SOPHAS verifies it after the deadline.
Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
Applications must be completed by the deadline to ensure full consideration. Applications completed after the deadline will be reviewed at the discretion of the admissions committee.
