Stage 3 of 5

Apply through CAAPID

Most Advanced Standing programs take applications through CAAPID, the centralized application run by ADEA. Some schools add supplemental applications or questions. Speed matters: submit each school as soon as its section is complete.

At this stage

  • Keep the general personal statement and school-specific SOPs separate
  • Stay inside character limits (characters often include spaces)
  • Send evaluator requests early and follow up before deadlines
  • Answer school-specific questions and submit school by school
  • Report INBDE, TOEFL, ECE and other scores (you can update these later)
