CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[Andy Nguyen]

Don't worry too much about CMU interviews. It's just informal chat about your career goal, you interest in the program and what other programs you may have applied to. If you take it as a friendly chit chat, it will be actually enjoyable. Just a test for your English speaking skill.

And if they ask you how you learned about their program, make sure to mention Quantnet. By being a member here, it shows that you took the initiative to research online so it's a plus.

I don't think I would be familiar with this field without Quantnet! Thank you Quantnet

Hey I have still not received an invite for interview. does this mean a rejection

 

[roni]

Just had my interview. Don't worry too much, prof. Bryant is a very nice person, this was an informal conversation with no technical questions. Actually, I really enjoyed talking with him .
Results are in two weeks.

Good luck guys!

I had my interview with Rick Bryant 24th morning... and the questsions are pretty much what everyone else said: How I learn about the program, what other programs I applied and would I choose CMU over others and why. Although he didnt ask me about my future career plan... I guess part of the reason is I explained that in some length in my essay.
It was overall a nice chat I think. Lasted about 20 mins, although I thought it was pretty quick as he was done asking me questions by the 11th/12th min. In the remaining of the time I asked 2 questions and it was all chatting.
Anyway good luck to the rest of you who has yet to do the interview. And yes Andy I mentioned Quantnet as one of my sources in researching these various programs!

How did you know Andy was going to ask you this question?

Good luck to all of us!

Does anyone know if CMU is still sending out interview invitations?

 

[hamletwlp]

Does anyone know if CMU is still sending out interview invitations?

I will help you ask. I had the face to face interview last week.

 

[ankitiit]

How many of interviewed applicants ( i mean why percentage wise) do actually get through ?

 

[yechess]

I don't think it means anything... I believe they will be sending invitations throughout the week. Plus, as far as I know, they don't interview all applicants. I can ask the interviewer this question on the 21st.

Good luck to all of us :|

Hey Roni, did you ask this question? What reply did you get?
