<p>Are there any uniform deadlines for grad school applications ( like there are for colleges)?</p>
<p>No - though the first week in January of the year you plan to enroll is typical.</p>
<p>You'll want to have your applications in as early as possible to help ensure a full and fair reading by the department's adcom.</p>
<p>Some can be as early as December 1 and others are in January. When I applied I had most of mine in December or early January.</p>
