CMU MSCF Interview Invitations, Anyone?

[Wowbagger]

Wondering if they have started sending out invitations yet. My page still says "Under review". What about you?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

According to historical data from our Tracker, round 1 applicants who applied in Nov got interviews in second and third week of Jan.

 

[Wowbagger]

Thanks a ton, Andy. I was going by MIT's processing speed, I guess

 

[Wowbagger]

Another question, Andy Nguyen - does CMU interview everyone they admit, like MIT? Or are there students who get in even without an interview?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Our data from the Tracker confirms that ALL people admitted to CMU got interviewed first. There was one instance to the contrary but I believe that poster forgot to add the interview date.

[Wowbagger]

Thanks, Andy. Should have thought of using the tracker filters. My bad

 

[Andy Nguyen]

The Tracker has the potential to hold very valuable and interesting data so I hope to get as many applicants to use it as possible. Overtime, we can predict trends and do some cool analysis.
If you have friends who are applying, please send the link of the Tracker to them.

Well, I got one

Was it by email? Would you please share some info such as how many ppl they will interview? TIA!

 

[Wowbagger]

It was by email. They have asked me to suggest a few interview dates in the next two weeks, and they will choose the one most suitable. Will ask them about how many applications etc. and get back.

If you could, would you please ask whether they have sent out all the interview invitations already? Thanks so much!

 

[Wowbagger]

I'll ask them if I talk to them, although I think they'd respond better to Andy Nguyen. Don't give up hope just yet, universities usually send out invites in batches

 

[littlelady]

Andy, any news on this?

Andy, any news on this?

all of your questions are best directed to the admissions office, as neither wowbagger nor andy have access to that information. however, i would strongly urge you not to hassle them with your questions, as knowing the number of students they decide to interview won't shed any light on your personal situation. andy has done a great job getting a lot of application numbers for schools, and cmu posts its class size on its website, so you can probably do a few calculations to infer how many interviews occur. additionally, from past years, people have mentioned rolling interview invites.

you will find out the decision by the date posted. and yes, you can probably infer that things didn't go so well if you weren't called an interview and it's a few days before the 1/30/12 deadline.

Wondering if anybody got interview invitation last week for R1. I see many applications but only two person got interview invite.
Does anybody has news if all invites for R1 are sent?
I tried calling CMU yesterday, but nobody answered.

 

[leofan]

It seems that CMU merely sent a batch of interviews on January 6th... no more then...

 

[Panache]

Wowbagger: Best of luck for your interview today (y)
Please post your interview experience and , if possible, please ask them if they sent out all invites.

 

[littlelady]

Best luck wowbagger!
