Note that, in practice, the department accepts applications for fall admissions after January 15. However, once the entering class is filled (approximately 25-30 entering MUP students), no additional applicants are considered for admissions for a given academic year. Also, financial award offers are made early in the process. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply as early as possible.
