CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission results

[Claudia P]

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!

@cab , just curious. how long did the interview go for you?

If you interviewed I would say there's a very high chance you'll be accepted.
Hope to see you folks in September!

Yea, that is what I am hoping. However, nobody wants to build up expectations to have them come crashing down later haha. Hopefully we all get in, and can have a party in this thread on friday

Haha yea! Thanks CMU for ruining my focus the entire day.

When do you guys find out whether you are in ?

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.

 

[New Trader]

4.00pm when? lol May 31?

 

[cab]

Oh sorry, I assumed you either knew or could tell from our anxiety ha.

~4 pm Today~

But as I said the 4pm is hearsay

I just got an email from CMU in regards to admission result. I applied for NY campus and never had an interview. I am waitlisted.

Nice move :D
How much time does it give you to make your decision (in other words, when is the deposit due)?
