What is the Fall intake in Italy and what share of admissions does it cover for me?

The Fall intake, also called the September intake, is Italy's primary intake. It typically accounts for more than 70 percent of admissions, and the page elsewhere puts it around 80 percent, because most universities and courses admit then. Deadlines vary by course and university, so check official pages.
