After submitting your applications, be patient and wait for admission decisions. If you're accepted into a program, keep track of deadlines and any additional procedures you need to complete.


Accept Offer and Get Ready: If you get an admissions offer, thoroughly read the terms and conditions. Accept the offer within the timeframe given and adhere to any guidance offered by the university.
