Grad School Deadlines

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>Long story short, I was just told by my employer a couple months ago that they would pay my tuition in full for graduate school. It took me some time to write my letter of intent (three essays) and get my LOR in. </p>

<p>Deadline for Spring 2013 (JHU MS in Information Systems) is December 15th. I'm ready to push the application through but will applying at the last minute hurt my chances? This program is offered off campus and is geared towards working professionals and I have been working a year since graduation. I'm afraid that their slots have filled up? What are the worst cases? Should I hold off for Fall? (Currently accepting applications). Thanks!</p>

<p>No, unless it’s rolling admissions. Since it’s got a deadline odds are it’s not. If the deadline is December 15 I’d be willing to bet that the committee won’t even look at applications until after they return from the holiday break.</p>
