Am I at a disadvantage if I am a domestic student because this is an international conference or vice versa?

Not at all, we welcome both domestic and international applicants.

Will applying early affect my chances of admission to the conference?

All applicants to the International Conference 2023, whether they apply in the first round or the last, receive the same comprehensive, holistic review. However, more spots for attendees are available during the earlier rounds, so it would be to your advantage to apply as early as you are able to.

If I am waitlisted or rejected in an earlier application round, can I reapply?

No, you cannot apply more than once to the general application. If you are waitlisted, your application will be re-evaluated within the next round of applications.
