darth, do you just keep track of all the past chat responses? I mean it's kinda cool but.... also a bit scary

 

[darth]

No...dun wry Its just that I happen to attend this chat and due to my nature of work, over the years I have developed a photographic memory ... Btw I did not understand the scary part

 

[bullion]

darth I don't remember the last time I save a chat and being able to recite it... and what kind work DEVELOPS a photographic memory? man I need to get on that!

Just tell them you are waiting for decisions from CMU.

Hello Gwen/AdCom/Forum members,

I am applying for part time MSCF in NY, Fall 2012. I know that the R4 deadline is Apr 23rd and I am trying my best to finish my application by then. I have recommender's invitation sent out and have started working on the essays. I was wondering if you know what chance do I stand to get into the part time program so late in the process ( below are my credentials ) and also if you have any pointers on the application process. Really appreciate your time and assistance

GMAT - 710 ( Q: 49, V: 37 )
Undergrad GPA - ~3.85 ( equivalent of 70% in India )
Masters in Computer Science - GPA 3.9 ( SUNY Binghamton )
Work Ex: Total 7.4 yrs - 6 yrs in Goldman Sachs - Interest Rate Product trading technology.

Thanks
An Eager Candidate

had my interview today... it wasn't exactly a laid back relaxed chat, there was no math, but Gwen asked some interesting behavioral questions that reminded me of my job interviews, and the appointment lasted more than 30 minutes... i'm guessing this year the "interview = 90% admit" rule is no longer in effect

that's because your interviewer is Gwen.... haha

 

[DeltaVega]

so what's the difference between her and Rick... actually isn't Rick more senior and so should be stricter?

 

[jianpu]

rick did not ask many questions, that's the difference

 

[DeltaVega]

either way, Gwen was pretty cool, she made the conversation as interesting and laid back as possible, despite her asking the un-orthodox questions she asked... and i am certain the yes/no decision will come jointly from both her and Rick

jianpu did you apply for CMU? did you do you interview with Rick? how was it if so?

 

[DeltaVega]

well... we'll know by Monday!! wish you all the best

 

[jianpu]

good luck too! DeltaVega
