CMU MSCF Skills required for MSCF CMU program?

[Rajan Seth]

There are lot of alumini from the prestigious MSCF course on this forum who can help me answer this.
Can you please share the non technical skills required as to best utilize this course?

This will help me to relate my strengths and skills and showcase them in Essay A of the application.

-Stress management: MSCF is extremely stressful, can you handle the workload + job searching at the same time?
-Networking skills (If you only use on-campus recruitment, you're missing out): Are you able to form professional connections with alumni of the program and fellow students?
-Collaboration: Unless you are a super-knowledgeable genius, you will get stuck somewhere. Do you work well in teams / can you ask for/give help when necessary?
-General social skills: Do you look presentable (dress well)? Do you give recruiters and interviewers a good first impression? Are you able to make eye contact / give a firm handshake? Do you speak confidently but not arrogantly?
