Deadlines
What is the application deadline?
You must apply by December 15, 2022, for Fall 2023 admission.
Due date for recommendation letters
Submitting letters of recommendation by December 15 is preferable. But if you submit your admission application by December 15, recommenders can still submit letters after that date (and doing so will not disqualify you). Recommenders cannot submit letters until after the application has been submitted; we advise waiting until after the application fee has been paid.
What if I have two or more GRE scores?
UC Davis will review all of the scores. We take your best scores for each section of the exam into consideration.
Submit GRE or TOEFL after deadline?
Yes, you can still be considered for admission. Just do your best to have those items submitted as soon as possible. However, the admission application, statement of purpose, personal history statement and résumé (c.v.) all must be submitted online by the Dec. 15 deadline. Your application will not be reviewed, however, until after all items have been received.
Admission deferral after acceptance
Admission is not deferred to the next year, but you can apply for admission again for the next year in competition with other applicants.
Updated transcript after deadline
No. Unfortunately, because of the large number of applications and transcripts that are received, we are unable to amend or replace the submission. Please understand that the documents that you submit will be the ones used in the review and evaluation of your application.
