CMU MSCF CMU Round 4 Interview Invitation

Prashant.Kumar · 6/8/11

So, hopefully this boat hasn't sailed, but ...

I'm just wondering if anyone is in Round 4 on quantnet with me and has heard about interviews.
Looking at the tracker (sorting by submission date), it looks like I'm the Last of the Mohicans.

I've got a contingency plan, but, still holding out on CMU. *fingers crossed*

You can always ask them directly to see whether they have started sending out invitations yet... They will have to complete all interviews by June 17... so it should be soon...

Round 3 acceptance deadline is June 13... so it is not illogical to think that many interview invitations for round 4 might come out that day and the following day with interview dates being June 15, 16, 17...

Good Luck!

Thank you for that info! I think I'll do that!

Alesha said they haven't start any interview for R4 yet. Is there anybody get an AD without interview?

Are you considering full time or part time MFE?

Prashant.Kumar · 6/9/11

I'm considering full time.

logixwriter · 6/9/11

I am thinking of applying for part time for NY campus.. I am close to the downtown office.

huiwu · 6/12/11

Is there anyone received invitations for R4?

huiwu · 6/13/11

Is the competition of R4 tougher than the former three rounds?

@huiwu
Your question brings back and old question:

They have already started interview process. But i have not received anything from them. Has anybody here received the interview appointment?

Prashant.Kumar · 6/15/11

I've got nothing so far, just hoping I may be called in another batch :/

huiwu · 6/15/11

But they have to finish all interviews by Friday, June 17th. That means if we don't get appointment by today, the hope would be very very tiny.

huiwu · 6/20/11

Is the decision released today?

Prashant.Kumar · 6/20/11

Oh yea, I forgot about that XD
I'm expecting we'll be hearing by e-mail soon, but I haven't received anything yet ...

Bless us~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meh, that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. But onwards and upwards!

"[...] Although our admission committee was impressed with your credentials, we will be unable to offer you a place in the MSCF program for Fall 2011. [...]"

With perhaps renewed luck (and placement in round 1 :P) next year!
