[anamikaSingh]

Same as another_yy, received an email for Round 2. Not sure what this means

Just received interview invite too. Thinking whether it is worth the time after having received other offers.

why not!? CMU is one of the best MFE programs out there.

Does anyone get both the interview invitation and the email for R2?

I did. I don't think the email was sent to any specific group.

Hello,
Did CMU send out new invites?
Or they might be done now.

 

[Satoru]

Maybe finished...

Just FYI. Just booked an interview slot on Mar 1st and nothing beyond that.

Hi, I am a bit confused with this time's admission process. I applied to CMU MSCF in 2018 Dec as well and got one interview. At that time I had no Quant Finance experience and a couple of irrelevant recommendations (not related to Quants). This time I was so confident about my prospects as I have over 3 years experience in Quant Finance (pricing model risk) along with glowing and relevant professional recommendations. I didn't even get an interview this time. What changed over the course of 3-4 years?

 

[Satoru]

They say the result is coming out on 4th March. Maybe all the interview invitation was finished last week.

Did they mentioned this during your interview? During mine, they said results would be posted on March 3rd just like the website says.

Feeling similar, I was also quite confident about my prospects at CMU. Seeing class profile of earlier batches, but haven't got an interview invite. Low key hoping that they might also be selecting folks without interview as well but don't know. Keeping my fingers crossed

Has this been done before? Students being admitted to CMU without interviews?

 

[bfm.my]

Just completed the interview moments ago. I think they still interview candidates this week. Decisions will be released on Mar 3rd. I

From what I have heard CMU, UCB, Princeton Baruch, GATECT admits do one or more interviews. CMU has an interview as a requirement for admission. But things change so I don’t know

 

[finkv]

The wait is killing me. Does anyone know the time when they usually send them? I have usually heard back from school at 8pm EST. Maybe to prevent calls from students? Haha

But do they still send out new interview invites?
Like you were invited last week and completed yours today.
Will they send out new invites again?

Yupp I have heard similar, , so don't have much hopes. But let's see, only a couple of more days to fully know

 

[finkv]

Will they send out new invites again?

I don’t think anyone knows.

In previous years the conversion rate from interviews to admits was high but they have sent a lot of invitations. (At least it seems like it to me)
