CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[mhy]

Will do-thanks!

 

[Eric Partlan]

Just received one as well.

Question - Do they send interview invites to everyone they select or only some ?

From their session it looked to me they only invite people they are confused about. Rest are either rejected or selected straight way.

 

[mhy]

I'm not sure. Looking at the Tracker, however, I can't see an 'Admit' with no interview.

 

[LupDorm]

You are right. Tracker data backs you up. Anyway this is what they told me during one of the sessions.

It also looks like there have been rejects for R3 -just by looking at tracker.

 

[Math Andrew]

I've never seen a case where one got selected without an interview.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Looking at the Tracker, however, I can't see an 'Admit' with no interview.

Tracker doesn't lie

Hi guys, i was going through this thread and saw CMU sent round 1 invites starting from 9th jan last year. Anyone who's received an invite for 2014?

 

[New Trader]

@Nanda Kishore !! Do they let you take/sit through the MBA classes, if you like to do so?

 

[JEills]

Has anyone in R1 heard from CMU? The deadline is Jan 31, but none of my friends received anything...

 

[QuantHopeful]

I don't see any interview update in the tracker system. A general delay?

 

[Dataminer]

well there's 1 update on tracker that shows someone getting an interview invite

 

[QuantHopeful]

Another person updated. All happened within the past hour. I am guessing they got the invites today.

 

[Vic_Han]

Finally CMU is sending out interview invitations for Fall 2014 batch.

A slight change from previous year is that the span of interview is 30 mins.

Will there possibly have different form of interview?

 

[Dataminer]

Did they actually mention that there will be a change in the length of interviews?

 

[cab]

Does anyone have information about how the interviews went in the past? Should we expect linear algebra/ calc/programming problems? Or are they trying to get to know us?

 

[babinu]

In general, the interview is not technical. You just need to be clear on why you are applying to the program.

Thanks
Babinu

 

[cab]

Ok, thank you. I am very capable at doing that so your words are comforting. I wonder, do you (or anyone else) know what percentage of interviewed students are retained? Is this a stage where many are weeded out or is that mostly done with applications?

Also, babinu, I hope you don't mind me asking, are you a student there? Where did you get your information?

2014 Fall CMU round 1 interview

 

[LewisMast]

The interview this year has been extended to 30 mins.
Does anybody has finished the interview already? Any hints on the interview?
