<p>I was planning on taking the GSAE on May 26th. My application and all required materials (except GSAE) will be in a few weeks before this. </p>
<p>Question: With the June 1st fall deadline, will my May 26th GSAE be in on time? I would imagine it was scheduled at this date to be the last possible GSAE for fall deadline.</p>
<p>You should be fine as long as it is before the deadline…it might just take longer to get your decision</p>
<p>I applied EA for fall '11, and the deadline was March 1st. I had all of my app stuff (essays, transcripts, etc) in well before the deadline, but I didn’t take the GSAE until March 27th (because I live in L.A. and that was the earliest available one in the region). GS Admissions said I still totally qualified for EA because I had everything else in before the deadline. (They even had a one week grace period for anyone who was missing anything.) Of course I’m not an adcom so I can’t guarantee that, but that was my experience. I think you’ll be totally fine because you take the GSAE before the deadline anyway.</p>
