CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission results

[mr_spectre]

Basically, there is an application screening process after the deadline of 3rd December where they will check if your submitted application is complete and error-free.

If they find some errors, they will ping you and ask you to submit those additional documents/materials. I think the deadline to submit the additional stuff was 23rd Jan to be considered for round 1.

But the catch is that they won't review your submitted material immediately after submitting your application. Your application will now be screened again at the end when all other remaining applications have been screened.

I don't know how these applications get affected for the interview stage (admissions committee review stage). Don't know if they will now be evaluated randomly or at the end.

What are the timelines for CMU? Haven't seen any update regarding interview invites on any thread or on any tracker.

My understanding is that they do interviews in random batches up until the decision release date in early March.

Just received an interview invite from CMU. I guess they do review applications in random batches, so be patient guys! Good luck to everyone

I just finished my interview in the last week. Not sure about the acceptance rate after an interview.

@ves @Chevis Congrats on the interviews. If you feel generous, please share your interview date, info and your timeline on our Tracker. That would be much appreciated by all the applicants.

If it makes you feel any better, I submitted additional requested materials on a similar timeline as you and I am still waiting too

Same situation. Submitted a few days before the deadline, and have not heard back.

 

[kombuchalover]

Same here! Was asked for some extra info and haven’t heard anything yet about an interview. We’ll hear back soon.

Since decisions are released on specifically March 1st in one batch, does this mean that applicants who have not received interview invites are likely to receive a rejection? Does anyone know if CMU's MSCF program gives offers without interviews?

My friend,2025 class of MSCF, got interview invite at 2/20/2023. And it also would be possible for them to put you into the WL.

My friend,2025 class of MSCF, got interview invite at 2/20/2023, which you can think it would be the last round of interview call. And it also would be possible for them to put you into the WL.

That's disappointing to hear, but thanks for sharing that info anyway.

I do not recall where, on their website or on some standard mail, they do say that interviews can take place up until the first of March as well. I have heard that it is a very small team that goes through all the applications. So it is best to sit tight and wait. Anything can happen.
