CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[JLabko]

Is it possible to not receive an interview invite but still get shortlisted? I believe I'd a decent profile but still didn't get invite

I don't know if they'll submit without an interview, but as of yesterday they were still (potentially) sending more interviews, so keep an eye on youru inbox.

As a last year applicant and current MSCF student, rereading this thread brings back a lot of memories

Good luck to everyone this Friday! The program is amazing, and you are sure to get your money's worth.

Hi! Could you share a bit about this year's job placement plz?

Hi! I can't give out a lot of information regarding this mostly because I don't know all the numbers myself, but I will say that us MSCF students got some truly exceptional internships this year, even in comparison with our previous years.

Did everyone receive the email this morning about financing your degree?

I got this email a few weeks ago.

Interesting, I also interviewed and I've gotten a few of these emails detailing potential career paths, financing the degree, etc. and I assumed they were mostly emails to keep your interest in the program and advertise successful student's career paths. I thought they were all standard to all applications but I guess not?

99% sure it’s just a newsletter. Receiving these emails only depends on whether you are subscribed to it or not.

I am curious to see the correlation too. Is it a soft rollout or just newsletter. For context, I haven’t unsubscribed to their stuff so I should be getting them if it’s just a newsletter.

i also had an interview and didnt get that newsletter, would be a weird way to admit/reject people but who knows

 

[fishoutofwater]

Did people who interviewed receive the emails re student profiles and career paths too? I am wondering if it was just the financing one that was selectively sent for whatever reason.

the last email i got in my inbox is the Discover Three More Quant Careers one

hmm could all be random

The only thing thats throwing me off tho is that someone said they got it without an interview, and i remember when i watched the admissions video with Dimitri Bianco, Emily specifically mentions that everyone must conduct an interview so not sure

I have been receiving such emails, but didn't have an interview (it's too late anyways).

Looks like you haven't added the timelines to the Tracker. Can you do that please? Thanks

Funding email theory proved right in my case. Rejected.
