Really weird. Did good in interview and my referral prof also says "extremely surprise" (he is one of prof in MSCF Steering Committee).

But it is fine for me. Ironically, I got a quant offer from a top hedge fund on the same day.

Don't know whether I should happy or not :)
 
You'll find out after about a month of work.

This will happen even when looking for a job. You might feel you ace the interview and you still get nothing back. Don't worry. Take the job offer. You can apply next year with more working experience under your belt.

Do I need a MFE degree if I already work as quant? I think MBA is a better choice

IMO, you need nothing if you are already a quant (but what kind of quant?) and you are happy :)
 
If you want to be a quant, maybe NYU and UCB is better for you. CMU most of the time place its students in S/T and risk management
