Schools What are the deadlines for US PhD admissions for Spring semester?

[Andromeda9010]

I had a presumption that PhD admissions happen all year. Apparently I was wrong, and this could cost me.

I am going to take the physics GRE on march and the general GRE probably after that.

This means if I want to get admitted for a university on fall semester, I will have to wait about two years! From now (Jan 2019) to (~Sept 2020)... I was hoping to find universities that admit PhD students on spring, but they are few. Funny thing, most top universities (around 90%) admit students only on fall semester.

Should I sacrifice the possibility of going to a good university (relatively speaking) so that I can start earlier?

Any thoughts on what should I do?

Some universities in the US still have open deadlines for next fall. This list is maintained by the American Institute of Physics:

Click on "Fall" under "Admission deadline (international)" to put the list in sequence. (I assume you're not in the US.)

Thanks for the link. Yes I am not.

I have been looking at universities individually. Visited more than a hundred US university website, most of the deadlines I saw where on Dec or early Jan, and barely no one was offering spring admission.

I was thinking of applying for Msc in Europe. But it is financially exhausting, even if I got admitted in a country like Germany where intuition is not an issue, I will still have to provide money for living if I couldn't get funding.
