Can't wait to read your review of the program. You've been a long time member here so expect a very comprehensive review and let us know all the secretsYes, @cab I just graduated this December from the Pittsburgh campus
The biggest hint is who will be your interviewer. In the past, Rick Bryant (the Director), Gwen (admission) and other administrative staff conducted the interview so it's mostly fit/personal/English skill. If they let alumni to conduct the interview this year, everything is fair game but it's usually everything on your resume is the biggest thing they will focus on.The interview this year has been extended to 30 mins.
Does anybody has finished the interview already? Any hints on the interview?

@cab , just curious. how long did the interview go for you?For the information of future applicants:
The interview was non-technical and fairly casual. I come from a non-finance background (BS/MS in math) so he asked me "Why are you here?" once my motivations for entering the program were clear he said that I "made my case" and the conversation seemed to switch to chit-chat mode. I got the impression that once my motivations were established that I was deemed acceptable, and then he just wanted to give me information about the program. I left with the expectation that I would be accepted, but I can't be sure until the 31st!

yeah I did....mine was 18 minutes 59 seconds exactly according to skype lol...About 35mins. Did you interview as well?
If you interviewed I would say there's a very high chance you'll be accepted.
Hope to see you folks in September!
Haha yea! Thanks CMU for ruining my focus the entire day.am frantically checking quantnet to see if anyone updated tracker...too scared to check actual website, am a wimp![]()
I don't remember where, but I think I recall Cam (a CMU student above) saying that last year he got an email at 4pm. It is uncertain though.When do you guys find out whether you are in ?
