Deadlines

Full consideration will be given to applications received by the Departmental Application Deadlines (These take precedence over any deadlines posted at the GraduateCAS Site. Late applications may be accepted but the candidates should contact math-masters@tamu.edu before starting). Also please be aware that admittances are linked to the semester the student applied for-- i.e., if a student was admitted for a fall semester, the system won't let them register for an earlier semester. So applicants need to take this into consideration when deciding which semester to apply for.
