There are two rounds of applications: a priority round, ending on 2/23/2012 for online applications, and a final round, ending on 4/12/2012 for online applications. If you apply before the end of the priority round, you will hear back by 3/12. If you apply after the end of the priority round but before the final deadline, you will hear back by 4/30. Some programs may keep their local applications open beyond 4/12, but there is no guarantee that any specific program will do so.
