To be considered, submit your materials by Jan 1, 2013.
I will be reviewing submissions beginning now, and hope to select the finalists soon, so you will have sufficient time to prepare your formal applications to CUNY. Remember that you need to have recent GRE (and TOEFL if you are not a native English speaker).
