S2 Q&A: Which start term should I apply for?

The nearest term you can realistically complete the application for - and, if you're on OPT or another expiring status, one whose start lands safely before your clock runs out. Most partners run 4-6 intakes a year, so there's usually a fit; I'll pull [School]'s upcoming start dates and deadlines from the Library and map them against your end date. What's the exact end date on your EAD or I-94?
