CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission results

[Rajat Kathuria]

Any updates folks? How was the interview experience? Any recent interview calls?

My interview was great. It was with Mr. Richard Bryant. I was asked where else I applied, about my internship, and about a Financial Markets Program at my school. Total time for that was about 10-15 minutes. The rest of the time I was asking questions. My understanding is that they interviewed a lot of students 30-40+ I'd say... Good Luck to all of us!!!

Does everyone who got admitted to CMU MSCF have to go through an interview?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Almost all https://www.quantnet.com/tracker/?filters[program_id]=5&filters[result]=qnt_field_result_accepted
I don't know if those admitted that does not include the interview date info in the Tracker simply forgot it or did not have one.

Anyone applied for the 1st round got interview invitation?
I just received it today, and it seems that the interview will take up to 45 minutes. Not sure what will be asked. Any past interview questions to share?

My interview (and from what I know most/all interviews are the same) was basically asking about my background and motivations, and career goals. Also a little bit of discussion regarding whether to do the program full time or part time (I chose part time, but was asked if I was thinking of doing it full time - not sure what the intent of this was)

You can also search this forum for past interview experiences. In general it is a conversation about your fit with the program.

Hi

How was the interview. What all was asked.

Thanks

My interview takes about 10 minutes...
And..
1) How do you know MSCF program?
2) What you gonna intend to do with your master degree?
2-1) Will you get a job in US?
3) Any questions?
4) Other schools you applied..
4-1) How did you decide to apply those schools?
And go back to 3) again.

The interviewer, Richard, was very kind and witty anyway.

Has anyone who applied for Round Two of CMU MSCF receieved an interview invitation yet?

 

[Mingming]

Did you get one? I haven't heard anything yet....

 

[Dude Lebowski]

Nope.. not yet.. But I'm guessing that there's a lot of time left for interviews since the official result date is in the first week of April..

 

[Hemant Dua]

Their website doesn't make any disclosure about the date by which all interview invites will be out (for Round 2, that is). May be a good idea to mail the AdCom.

 

[Dude Lebowski]

Well, based on Round One, they set interviews for a week or two before the decision notification deadline (30th Jan)... If they do something similar for Round Two, then interviews should be in mid to late March... I posted this in case CMU has deviated from past behaviour... I don't think I'll mail the AdCom before mid March...

 

[Hemant Dua]

Fair enough. I agree with you on that.

 

[Wenzhe Jiang]
