When should I submit my application?

We are often asked if there is any advantage to submitting an application early and my answer is that the advantage is entirely to the applicant. Preparing to submit your application early will give you the time to check for completeness and give you a buffer should anything be delayed. There is no advantage in terms of how the admissions committee will view you. This is because SOPHAS will not release your application to us until after the application deadline. Once the deadline passes, SOPHAS will verify your information and then release your application to UC Berkeley's School of Public Health. So my advice is start preparing early, double check everything and submit by the deadline.
