After careful consideration, the launch date for the new GMS has been rescheduled for Monday, March 11 (previously March 4) to provide the best experience for both staff and applicants. The rescheduled system deployment date will push back pre-application deadlines by one week.

  • March 11: GMS open for Spring Round pre-application submissions.
  • March 22: Spring Round pre-applications for all programs due by 5:00 p.m. EST.
  • April 5: Responses to all Spring Round applicants will be sent no later than this date.

The original deadline for all Spring program applications remains May 3, 2024.

Further pre-application guidance will be made available through the NBRC website and its program materials.
