Target the Fall 2027 intake for your master's in the USA. This is the most popular intake, offering the widest range of programs and funding options, and gives you about 12 months to prepare for exams like the GMAT.

If you need more preparation time, consider the Spring 2028 intake, which is available for select programs.

Application deadlines vary by university and can be as early as January for Fall admissions. Plan your preparation and application steps accordingly.
