你這信息從何而來。。事實上，這個學(xué)校的的截止日期應(yīng)當(dāng)是這樣的：

“該系實行滾動錄取模式，秋季學(xué)期最晚6月1日截止，但如欲考慮獎學(xué)金的話，必須在1月15日前申請（如欲考慮Fellowship的話，還需于12月15日前申請）。春季學(xué)期最終截止日期為11月1日，夏季學(xué)期為3月1日；如欲考慮獎學(xué)金的話，則春季學(xué)期不得晚于10月1日，夏季學(xué)期不得晚于12月15日申請”

參考資料如下：

WHAT ARE THE DEADLINES FOR APPLICATION?

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has rolling admission. Therefore your application is reviewed after all of your materials have been received, instead of after a deadline. Please see the final deadlines for each semester on the web page for prospective graduate students. For the fall terms, please submit all of your application materials by December 15th to be considered for fellowships and Visit Wisconsin Weekend.

這里說明了，機械工程系采用的是滾動錄取，只要材料交齊，就會直接審核材料。如果要考慮“fellowships and Visit Wisconsin Weekend”獎學(xué)金的話，不要晚于12月15日申請。更多的信息建議去ME的網(wǎng)站（web page ）去看，也就是下邊這個——
