Hi Ivan,

I intend to apply to the CMU MSCF program for 2015 fall intake. I noticed that there are four different deadlines for admission:

Given I am an international student (I'm from India, btw), the last deadline for PT study doesn't apply to me. What I wanted to ask you was this-does it matter which Round you apply in/during? Is there any competitive advantage? Why are there multiple deadlines to begin with?

I find some people obsessed with the idea of sending in early applications as they believe it puts them at a competitive advantage. While I can see the logic behind it, is there are truth to it? Is it merely a myth?

I think it's great that you're taking questions from prospective applicants here. Most kind of you. Thanks in advance.

Warm regards,

Hemant.
