Are they releasing the results one guy at a time? Haven't received yet :/

 

[oviiyy]

Anyone received the interview request after 1/1/2020

 

[cywang]

After receiving an email saying that my application material is incomplete, I submitted my fall semester grade on January 2nd.

It’s now February. And I didn’t receive an interview invitation while many others who have similar experiences did in Mid January. That’s very stressful

Does it mean that I’ve been rejected? Or is it possible for CMU MSCF to admit students without going through the interview?

 

[Onegin]

I don’t think folks are admitted without an interview. Sometimes invitations go out at different times.

Thank you. I hope so.

 

[Onegin]

Thank you. I hope so.

my interview was quite late in the process. Check the other thread - it's a true story.

That gives me hope! So when did you receive your interview invitation?

 

[supersonic]

Is CMU still sending interview invites? Did anyone receive invites this week?

 

[Bryce E]

the results come out in 11 days so I suppose there is still time for them to interview some more candidates

 

[Sabah]

I got my invite for CMU on last Saturday. So I guess they stuill are.

Are the results out? Someone posted a rejection in the application tracker.

Results are not out, and my interviewer was pretty adamant they would not release them early and so everyone should get them on March 10. Maybe the person in the tracker withdrew their applications or something and mis-tagged them in the tracker.

It doesn't help that one of the three entries they put on the tracker have one mismatched GPA (8.74, 8.47, 8.74).

Am assuming it's a reject for me because I didn't get the interview invite.

Same with me, not having much hope for CMU. However, I think I've read some first round applicants in the past got into the wait list by end of the first round, interviewed after that (presumably together with second round applicants), and got admitted. I would say it's not completely 0% until they tell us that we're rejected.

Okay, if we do get waitlisted, by when would we know our final decision? By the time second round results get declared?

Sorry I can't remember exactly, and I don't have the link with me. You can probably try some google search, I'm almost certain that it was also on quantnet.

Edit: found it and it's from 2017, which is relatively recent, COMPARE - Columbia MFE and CMU MSCF like always

Got it. Will look for it.
