Hey, Congratulations, first of all! Can I ask like when did you apply for the program?

I submitted mine around 11/30. When I went in to register for my interview, only 2 days were available with a few slots each. They probably only send a few invites every week. Good luck to you as well!!

Anyone who received an invite and submitted their application on 12/3?

Admissions says they are reviewing applications in random batches and decisions released on March 1. No meaning to order of interview invites.

Do they accept materials this late? I was informed there's really only a two week window after the deadline for submitting materials.

Anyway, another comment pointed out that applications are reviewed in random batches. And based on last year's thread, seems like they continue interviewing candidates till the day decisions are released. So, I guess there's no way of knowing if and when you can hear from them. Could be any time before decisions are released.

Thanks! yes they do..... received a mail saying u can submit it till Jan 23

Basically, there is an application screening process after the deadline of 3rd December where they will check if your submitted application is complete and error-free.

If they find some errors, they will ping you and ask you to submit those additional documents/materials. I think the deadline to submit the additional stuff was 23rd Jan to be considered for round 1.

But the catch is that they won't review your submitted material immediately after submitting your application. Your application will now be screened again at the end when all other remaining applications have been screened.

I don't know how these applications get affected for the interview stage (admissions committee review stage). Don't know if they will now be evaluated randomly or at the end.

Anybody else got interview calls in the past few weeks?

What are the timelines for CMU? Haven't seen any update regarding interview invites on any thread or on any tracker.

My understanding is that they do interviews in random batches up until the decision release date in early March.

Just received an interview invite from CMU. I guess they do review applications in random batches, so be patient guys! Good luck to everyone

I just finished my interview in the last week. Not sure about the acceptance rate after an interview.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

@ves @Chevis Congrats on the interviews. If you feel generous, please share your interview date, info and your timeline on our Tracker. That would be much appreciated by all the applicants.
