Hi Guys, a friend told me that the invitations are still pouring in, so don't worry. Maybe yours is on the way!
I received my interview invitation on 14th March. Would anyone happen to know what they ask in these interviews, and who is taking them this year? I asked a MSCF student and he said that Richard Bryant takes them. Is it true for this year as well?

very good news, thx.
as far as I know, most applicants got interviewed by Bryant, no technical questions, so just relax

I can swear someone here once said that he had technical questions.
I have an interview with Mr. Rick Bryant so I think it's to see my interest (btw, I'm VERY interested ).

Hi guys, I received my interview invitation today and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of current interview questions.

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.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

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!
