If you are not ready to submit your application before it is due for deletion, you can start a new application with your entered information by using the "Copy an Existing Application" feature, under "New Application". You will then have a further 21 days to complete your new application.

Please be aware that once you have submitted your online application it cannot be edited. Also, please make sure that you submit your online application before the program deadline date. For further information on application deadlines, please contact the program you are applying to.

The 14 day notice is automatically sent to applicants that currently have an un-submitted online application in their account. It does not necessarily mean that we have not received your application. It may mean that you have started more than one application to the same graduate program, and submitted one, leaving the others incomplete.
