If you guys read Quantnet a bit, you'll not be worried much about interview at CMU. It's probably with Rick, the director. He is a nice guy and the interview is basically to make sure you are presentable and can speak English well. You are not going to be asked stochastic calculus via Skype, so get a good phone connection ready.

Er... But someone said there's a new interviewer named Gwen in R1 this year.
So just a little bit worried.
Btw, Andy, is everyone who receives interview got admitted?

Gwen is the director of admission. She ran a few online chat on Quantnet here so I know here. See (www.quantnet.com/live/)
No, it would be silly to believe a 100% conversion rate from interview to admit. Just don't screw up your answer and speak clearly to improve your chance.

Do they send out the invitations all at once?

Still get nothing....

I don't think it means anything... I believe they will be sending invitations throughout the week. Plus, as far as I know, they don't interview all applicants. I can ask the interviewer this question on the 21st.

Good luck to all of us :|
