PhD application deadlines in the northern hemisphere vary significantly by region and program. In the UK, particularly for physics, deadlines typically range from January to March. In the United States, deadlines are generally earlier; for instance, the University of Colorado had a deadline of January 1, while institutions like Berkeley, UCLA, and Stanford had deadlines on December 15 and 16. The University of Michigan's deadline was January 15, with most programs making decisions by April 15.
