*Through the Early Notification process, the CTS Admissions Committee may decide to make an offer of admission or to deny admission, or may defer the application for further review with Regular Deadline applicants. The Committee uses the same criteria to evaluate applicants who meet the Early and Regular deadlines. The benefit of applying early is simply the possibility to receive an earlier admissions decision. Additionally, if the Committee defers making a final decision, the application will receive a second round of review with the Regular Deadline applications. Early Notification is not binding and Early Notification applicants may apply to other graduate programs. Early Notification applicants who are denied admission will not be eligible to reapply for the other deadlines of the same year.
