Should I apply for spring 2023, or wait for fall 2023?

Question

Hi guys,

I started my master's plan a few weeks back and now, only spring 2023 applications are open.

I thought of applying for spring, but everyone seems to advice against it due to inabily to do internship in summer, less job opportunities and many more reasons.

Is it really that bad that I have to wait a whole year for next fall or can I go ahead for spring?

go ahead with spring if you can complete writing gre and ielts by 15 septemeber at max and be ready with lor and sop and wes. Because many deadlines are on oct 1st

Hi,
so yes on the part these things help but they are not everything you should go for it because in the end the profile evaluation will depend on Other Listed Reasons As Well,
like your cgpa your gre score and etc not having a lot of experience will affect a little of your profile but it is not everything that your admission depends on, so ig you should go for it.

if you need any other help,
please feel free to reach out to me.

I am concerned about internship and jobs during and after MS if I join during spring, mainly internship, as I can't do internship during my first summer. Also, I've read that job opportunities are fewer and difficult for spring admits than fall
