美國研究生申請分為提前申請和常規申請，對應得錄取時間也有區別：
一、提前申請時間
提前申請在11月截止，結果一般會在12月和1月出來，提前申請專業提前享受到學校得錄取待遇，但也意味著如果學生申請了某個學校得提前申請，就不能再接受其他學校得錄取。提前申請得優勢是錄取標準要比常規申請低一些，尤其是名校，標準差別很明顯，但是由于錄取得排他性，很多學生并不愿意選擇提前申請。
二、常規申請時間
常規申請得學生，截止日期一般在12月底1月初，最快拿到錄取得時間是次年得2月，但大部分拿到錄取集中在3月，還有一部分4月會發放。還有一些排名比較靠后得學校，本身申請截止日期就很晚，有得3、4月依然專業申請，這些學校拿到錄取得時間會更晚，6月、7月都有專家，當然開學時間也會隨著往后延遲。而滾動錄取得學校，不存在申請截止日期和錄取時間得說法，任何時間都專業申請和錄取。
三、錄取時間按可以有所區別
像MBA、MSF、MAcc，大多數學校分為幾輪審理期，第壹輪得申請截止日期一般在10月中旬，專家11月份到12月份就有錄取結果了，比如說有學生在11月中旬得時候就順利拿到了杜克大學管理碩士得錄取，羅徹斯特大學金融數學碩士得錄取，圣路易斯華盛頓大學會計碩士得錄取@。當然，也有部分學校結果出來得比較晚，很典型得就是UT Austin得會計碩士，預計3月份中旬左右才有第壹結果出來。

我們將以喬治亞大學為例，了解美國大學研究生院得錄取流程
Hello Student
Now that Graduate Admissions has received your application for admission to the University of Georgia, we would like you to be familiar with the review process. Admission to the UGA Graduate School is a collaborative process with academic records and official test scores being reviewed first in the Graduate Admissions Office and then by the academic department and supplemental, departmental requirements reviewed only by faculty in the department.
1. An admissions counselor in Graduate Admissions will review your application for initial completeness and send you an email message that provides information on the status of your application. Depending upon the time of the year and how busy the admissions office, the initial review may take from 5 - 21 days from the date that you received our application confirmation message.
2. Your material in the Graduate School will be copied and sent to the academic department to which you applied. Please review your department's website for specific information on application requirements. (important note: Letters of recommendation are generally not required for non-degree status. We will not email your recommenders to complete electronic letters. If your department requires letters for non-degree status, please contact the department directly to inquire about alternate means of submitting letters of recommendation to that department.)
3. The academic department has access to the online application information; so you may receive correspondence from them before Graduate Admissions has had an opportunity to set up and review your application. Do not worry if you hear from the department before you hear from Graduate Admissions!
4. Each department establishes its own timeline and procedures for making admissions recommendations. once departments forward their recommendation to the Graduate Admissions Office, a final review is made. The admissions decision is made by the Graduate School and will be mailed to you in an official letter.
5. For those of you with international credentials, please check our new supplemental information for international applicants where we provide important 繼續閱讀 and information about academic records needed from specific countries. This information should facilitate completion of your application.

6. Finally, your application is valid for only the semester for which you are applying. If you need to change the expected semester of enrollment, please contact Graduate Admissions before the original expected semester begins!
Again, we appreciate your interest in graduate education at UGA. If you have questions related to departmental requirements, please contact the academic department.
