What’s Next?

The Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Admissions Office will process your application within 5–10 business days of receipt. All credentials which have been submitted up until that point will be matched to the application, and you will receive an e-mail notification once your application has been forwarded to the relevant department. After that point, if you have questions about the completeness of your application, the timeline for a decision, or information about financial aid awards, you should direct them to the department rather than the Admissions Office.
