Hi Joo,

Would you mind sharing some of your CMU interview experience? Is it more behavioral question focused or technical question focused? I just scheduled an interview on Friday. Thank you!

So I just finished my incredibly short interview with Mr. Bryant! He asked me 2-3 questions (one of them was: "other programs you applied to..."), and then asked me if I have any questions for him. I asked him 3 questions (one of them was "how is life in Pittsburgh"). After I finished my interview, I PMed him saying thank you and I look forward to hearing from CMU. His response was quite sharp: "I enjoyed talking with you. We appreciate your interest in our program." Does the last sentence mean...a rejection? I am worried cause our conversation is too short;p

I really don't think so. Stay positive.

 

[Aadithya Narayanan]

I still haven't got an invite. Mine was marked on review on 24th Jan... Anyone on the same boat?
I just hope this doesn't mean a rejection

I think he just meant what he said. Without officially making a decision, he won't give you any hint about the result, so his words just meant that he did enjoy your conversation, and he does appreciate your interest in CMU. It's at least not a bad sign.

I think you are making to much of if. They say that phrase in every email/communication. It is almost protocol. I doubt he'd reject anyone on the spot right after an interview unless it was really atrocious.

They told me that they would release all the responses for the first round on March 20th, so there's still a few days to possibly get the invitation. Good luck.

 

[Mdxu]
