CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[Ariel_Ma]

My friend finished his interview for CMU MSCF last month already. It is said that all interviews has been sent out last month

 

[alphawhiskey]

too early to say.. last year they sent interviews 10 days before the release date

+1 to what Lily said cause even last year invites went out only a week before the result (from a couple of current students)

yesterday I received the same information as Lily and alphawhiskey from current student

Any updates about the interview invites?

 

[alphawhiskey]

People have started getting the invites for this and next week .
I know a couple of people who have gotten the invites.
Haven't heard anything on my application though

 

[Onegin]

I just broke the refresh button on my gmail from hitting it nonstop for a month.

I just broke

atta boy

 

[Onegin]

it gets worse. i also log into the website at least once a day just to be sure the status didn't change. I will not miss this uncertain waiting period.

 

[alphawhiskey]

Did anyone receive an invite?
I don't see any changes on the tracker

 

[Onegin]

Spoke w/ current student, who said they were convinced they didn't make it, then received their interview only a few days before the admissions decisions last year. I'm trying to savor the uncertainty, which can lead to a positive or negative outcome. . .

 

[alphawhiskey]

I know a current student who didn't get an interview. The interview is only for select students not everyone's who is admitted to the program .

 

[Onegin]

Well that will make this even more interesting!

It seems from the tracker that people are starting to get interview for CMU MSCF. Did anyone else get an invite?

hi Lily, did you just got the CMU interview invite(from the tracker)? can you share more detail?

I received the interview invite 6pm EST today. Surprised the admission committee is working at this hour and they're still sending out invites.. I thought it was gonna be a reject for me. It looks like there're still ~10 spots open for Tuesday and Wednesday, so don't lose hope!

thank you for replying. what do you mean 10 spots remaining, do you mean they notify you in the email they only have ten spot large(admitted 80 people already)?

They give you time slots to choose interview time. When I checked earlier today, there're about 10 slots open.

Well that will make this even more interesting!

Although very few, there are some people who got admitted without an interview according to the tracker (at least if they did not forget to change it).
On the other hand, there were also people who did get interviewed, but got rejected. I believe we will know our results for sure on 03/05. I am also very anxious to know!

Can anyone comment on the duration and nature of his/her interview? Mine lasted about 30 min, it was behavioral (background, interests and goals), more like a very pleasant conversation with Mrs. Gwen Stanczak.

You’ll do great! Best of luck!

This is what I've heard from other people as well
All behavioral, SOP and future goals.
