The admit rate in the fall intake can vary from that in the spring.
Every year, approximately 90,000 Indian students go to the US for a postgraduate degree. While this number decreased last year to about 85,000 due to COVID-19, a majority of Indian students seeking a foreign education at the postgraduate level still flock to the US. The US offers two different admissions cycles for aspiring postgraduate students, known as the fall and spring intakes. In the fall intake, the academic year typically commences in August (the first term is from August to December), while for the spring intake, the entry is in January, where the first term is from January to May. While many universities in the US offer the option to apply for a fall or spring entry, this deferred entry option is not as common for other higher education destinations.
As an undergraduate student thinking about applying for a postgraduate degree in the US, it is important to consider the spring versus the fall intake.
