Q: After submitting the initial application, how long will it take to be notified of the review method, time, and location? If I do not pass, how soon can I reapply?

A:

  1. The timing for the initial oral examination must be coordinated according to the reviewers' schedules. Generally, the processing time is about 1 month after the application is received. The Office will further notify you of the exact meeting and oral exam time, location, and method.
  2. Reapplication Mechanism for Initial Review This program provides two application opportunities per semester. If your first application is not successful, you may submit a second application immediately, and so forth.
