UCB MFE Bad interview

quantMSCF · 2/11/20

Hi,
I recently had round 1 interview but I don't have a good feeling about it. I read on the website that interviews do not determine admission decision but just suggested learnings before joining the program if admitted. Any thought about this? Did anyone get admission with poor interview?

I completely bombed a video interview for a top 10 school and still got an offer. Ain’t over till it’s over

If you're interviewing for the kind of program where you pay your own way (i.e. MFE degree), it doesn't really make sense to worry about your interview performance.

What do you mean???

I should have said, it doesn't make sense to be worried retrospectively about an interview that could have gone better, for this type of program.

I had an interview at one of the top 2 programs that I don't think went 100% well, but given that the program costs >$80K, I suspect performance on the interview is a less rigorous part of the screening process than it would be in (for example) Ph.D. admissions.

I also got hold after one round interview. Do you have any change on status?

Got admitted to CMU and I accepted the offer. UCB had no news yet
