Admission to RBS courses is on a rolling basis. All applications are acknowledged upon receipt. The first round of admit decisions for each course is made three months before the course begins, and admit letters put into the US post. Applications received thereafter are processed immediately. RBS accepts applications until the week in which the course runs, but chances of admission are greatly increased if the application is received two weeks ahead of the initial round of admit decisions.
