Some applicants might think it&#8217;s more important to stress their accomplishments and knowledge, rather than to expose what they don&#8217;t know and what they want to explore. But my experience at the World Bank, Intel, Stanford, NASA and Berkeley tells me that the person who asks questions and is open to new perspectives is the one who is going to shine. CCT has such a rich curriculum and faculty, it&#8217;s a great place for those who want to explore, rather than to &#8216;know and reinforce&#8217;.<strong>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gufaculty360.georgetown.edu\/s\/faculty-profile?netid=db233%2F\"><strong>Dr.&nbsp;Denise&nbsp;Bedford<\/strong><\/a>, adjunct faculty<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application Tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Before you start your CCT application, determine if this unique Master&#8217;s program is right for you. Make use of the resources CCT offers to get the answers to your questions. Have any questions? Attend a <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/cct\/prospective-students\/admissions-information-sessions\/\">CCT Admissions Information Session<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CCTers are a diverse group of individual thinkers. Use your application to tell us about the special combination of interests, skills, and passions you would bring to this community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CCTers constantly grapple with complex ideas during spirited discussion with people very different from them. Check that in your application, reviewers will be able to see evidence of your aptitude for this kind of challenging environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scholarships for graduate students are very competitive. Research all funding options available to you, not just CCT scholarships and fellowships. See&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/cct\/tuition-scholarships#funding\">Tuition &amp; Scholarships<\/a>&nbsp;for some links to start your research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional tips are in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/cct\/prospective-students\/apply\">How to Apply<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CCT Application Timelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Timeline for&nbsp;Priority Fall&nbsp;admission and CCT scholarships\/fellowships.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-deck card-deck info-deck solid four\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-cement\"><h3>July &#8211; September:<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Review CCT website&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Attend info sessions<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-cement\"><h3>October &#8211; November:<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Request recommendations<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-blue\"><h3>Deadline: January 15<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Submit Application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Application fee waived.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-cement\"><h3>Middle of March:<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Receive admission decision<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Timeline for&nbsp;<strong>Regular Fall&nbsp;<\/strong>admission.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-deck card-deck info-deck solid four\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-cement\"><h3>May &#8211; December:<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Review CCT website&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Attend info sessions<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-cement\"><h3>January &#8211; February:<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Request recommendations<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-blue\"><h3>Deadline: April 1<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Submit Application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Application fee: $90<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-info-card card card-color card-cement\"><h3>Middle of May:<\/h3><div class=\"card-block\"><div class=\"card-text\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Receive admission decision<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-button-row button-row text-lg-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-button gu-button text-lg-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/cct\/prospective-students\/admissions-information-sessions\/\" class=\"btn btn-lg\" aria-label=\"\"><span class=\"fa-fw fas fa-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span>ADMISSIONS INFORMATION SESSION<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-button gu-button text-lg-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gradapply.georgetown.edu\/register\/?id=bddfa1ec-4e87-4864-9a1b-6230718fcb92\" class=\"btn btn-lg\" aria-label=\"\"><span class=\"fa-fw fas fa-pen\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span>REGISTER YOUR INTEREST<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-button gu-button text-lg-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gradapply.georgetown.edu\/apply\/#_ga=2.234737502.1788092833.1599484351-740577200.1582826308\" class=\"btn btn-lg\" aria-label=\"\"><span class=\"fa-fw fas fa-mouse-pointer\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span>START YOUR APPLICATION<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gu-button gu-button text-lg-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/cct\/prospective-students\/chat-with-cct\/\" class=\"btn btn-lg\" aria-label=\"\"><span class=\"fa-fw fas fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span>CONTACT US<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Application Tips: CCT Application Timelines Timeline for&nbsp;Priority Fall&nbsp;admission and CCT scholarships\/fellowships.
