CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[tuanl]

Is everyone's application already marked for review? Anyone still awaiting processing?

Mine is still saying "Submitted." Every parts of my application is completed, but I submitted my application right on January 5th. Hopefully this is not the reason I would fail to get an interview with this nice program.

Mine just says submitted. Should I conclude anything?

Can everyone update their timelines in the Tracker so we can better share our progress and lower the anxiety level

Did you received an email which notified your app is under review?

Did you received an email which notified your app is under review?

I got a automatic mail. But even post that the status has been the same.

 

[Abhinay]

Anybody else got an interview request?

 

[chintan_doshi]

FYI: Application statuses are no longer updated on the portal. All the communication about the interview/ rejection will be direct.

This was informed by the admission committee.

 

[chintan_doshi]

To those who got the mail for interview and finished that part, what was the type of questions asked? And if you don't mind sharing what questions were asked?
Please provide some insights.

Did you get the interview invitation?

 

[Quantknight]

Hi,

Is there anyone who has got an interview invite? I don't think they've started rolling out the invites yet.

Nope...

I am a bit skeptical, because the person indicated he submitted his application on January 9th, which should be pushed back to Round 2. It doesn't make sense to me that none of the applicants in Round 1 are qualified enough to receive invitations before a Round 2's applicant is even being considered, don't you think?

Hey! can you tell us when you had applied ?, and something about your background?

Right on the last day of Round 1 deadline (Jan 5th). Background is so so. Currently a PhD international student, obtained my MSc in Math (4.0 GPA) in August 2016 at an unknown state school in the US. Low GRE score, but it was 4-years ago (V/M/W: 148/170/3.5), and Math GRE Subject (800 - 80th percentile). Two letters are probably great, another one is probably so so (all three came from Math and O.R. professors at my current university). Always love Finance (particularly on the investment side), and found this program a great match with what I am lacking as well as what I could contribute to.
