Round 3 is truly no more or less competitive than Rounds 1 or 2. You should apply when you believe that you can turn in the application that you\u2019re most proud of, and best reflects you and your strengths and talents. We do encourage our international students to consider Round 1 or 2 because of potential difficulties in obtaining a student visa prior to the start of classes in late August.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Myth 6: If you submit your application early, you will definitely get an interview invitation early.
