The application period runs from September to December, April to May, and May to August.
  2. Winter - If the students cannot fill out the application form in the fall, they can try for the spring cycle. Usually, we all know that the spring term begins in January and terminates in May. This semester is the next most favored term among students, and at that moment, students seeking admission in U.S. colleges and universities. Though the spring application mode is higher than in the fall, the submission period starts in September, November, and January.
  3. Summer - In the U.S., summer stands as the scantiest term as compared to the fall and spring cycles. In this cycle, the application process commences from the month of June. Some colleges and universities are limited to taking admission this month.
