  • The application deadline says March 10, 2023, but the deadline for letters of recommendation says March 22, 2023, which is correct?
    Both! We understand that it can take some time to write quality letters of recommendation, so we wanted to build in some extra time for your recommenders. You will turn your application in before the deadline to email LOR.
