When are the interview emails for R2 candidates sent out? Any idea?

I think they have sent out all the invitations on Saturday night.

Hi. can i ask what makes you think that?
A bit sad still get nothing……I think the best result without an interview would be WL

According to the online interview sign up sheet, 68 of 71 have been taken.

Oh……okay……this does make me upset.
Thanks anyway.

@cab Dude do you remember how many interview slots they provided for R1 students? There are 71 for R2 students...... I heard that students who got the interview have had a good chance to be admitted, but it just seems so unlikely that they will admit all (or most) of the 71 students out there.

This is a good observation that emphasizes the speculative nature of my first post. I really don't know. Are round 1 and 2 treated the same? What is the correspondence between interview slots and students (I doubt it's one-to-one)? What is the accepted student retention rate?

All of these things are important to reason effectively but are unavailable to us. All I can say is that based on my experience and what I have read of others, the interview stage occurs after they have already done most of the cuts to their applicant pool. I could be wrong though ha

I am an aerospace engineer. How would I best prepare myself for CMU interview ? Any advice would be much appreciated

Any Update on round 2 interviews, going by the above post it seems they already have sent invites, I received nothing and that saddens me a bit

For the information of future applicants:

The interview was non-technical and fairly casual. I come from a non-finance background (BS/MS in math) so he asked me "Why are you here?" once my motivations for entering the program were clear he said that I "made my case" and the conversation seemed to switch to chit-chat mode. I got the impression that once my motivations were established that I was deemed acceptable, and then he just wanted to give me information about the program. I left with the expectation that I would be accepted, but I can't be sure until the 31st!

@cab do you have any idea if the round 2 interviews have started, I dint receive any mail till now n the results for round 2 would be out on 1st april , should i consider mine to be a reject??

Hey all,

I had my interview a few weeks ago and the admission responses for R2 come out tomorrow. Im quite nervous, but the fact that I have yet to see someone who has been rejected after interviewing has been comforting me. Any one else have thoughts on this?

 

[iceman]

Two of my friends were rejected after interviews two years ago......
