    • Hi, Jhe!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      According to the PMMA website, application forms can be submitted until the first week of September. However, according to the note on the application form, forms should be mailed to the Committee on Admissions no later than August 31. We’re not sure which one is the actual deadline, so it’s probably be best if you’ll ask PMMA directly so they can give you an accurate response.
