I think so too. Also is it possible for people to get admission without an interview?

 

[OriginalThinker]

I dont think so. I have not heard anyone admitted to CMU without interview.

 

[Fuzhong Zhou]

There are still few information on the invitation from CMU this year, combined with the fact that ppl still received their invitations late in Feb last year, we still have chances. However, the waiting is still extremely worrisome.

Has anyone received an interview these days?

[Onegin]

me. I haven't received invites.

I checked the tracker yesterday, and saw a few admits who had interview dates on 2/27. I also know of a prev admit who had his interview a few days before the deadline. I don’t know if these are exceptions, but wanted to share the data.
