I received the interview invitation today, and the latest interview day I can schedule is Feb. 2nd. I think they will continue sending out invitations.

We are approaching Feb. Not sure when the first decisions will be released -- assuming mid-Feb and they interview every shortlisted candidate, not sure about you guys, but I have looked past this and moved on.

All decisions will be released on March 3rd, and I do see people got interview invitaions in mid Feb last year.

I have not, but I saw people have got invites since 1/25 for early feb interview from other forums. Guess they are still sending.

Is interview a necessary condition for getting the offer? I see some people in this thread already got interviews from Princeton but not from CMU yet, I am assuming they are very strong candidates. Is it likely for CMU just send offers to very strong candidates without interviewing them?

Looking at past years pattern, everyone who got into CMU gave one or more interviews, and most of the people who get interview invites get in.
The CMU admission prerequisites list an interview by invitation.

CMU, Baruch, Princeton, UCB, Gatech - These schools definitely interview all candidates who are admitted, atleast once.

Columbia MFE, NYU Tandon MFE, Boston University - Do not interview people in general.

(Columbia does interview sometimes if they want clarification on any aspect of the application - profile, SOP or Video Essay)

Someone said he just got interviewed and he received the "under review" email on 1/10. I personally received the "under review" email on 1/7 but have literally no updates from them since then, so it made me somewhat disappointed :(

I think its fair to say that if anyone hasn't received an interview yet, they probably won't receive it now. Time to move on for all of us

well idk, someone who was admitted told me, in the previous year, they sent the interview invitations till late Feb. And my friend told me they still asked her to provide an updated transcript (she's in a Hong Kong school, and she is not invited for an interview till now) just 2 days ago. So I really don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.

Wow, that's a bold take. Especially since it's completely wrong. I think it's fair to say you haven't done your research,don't go around spreading negativity on this thread.
CMU sends out interviews till their result date. If you look at the previous year's trackers and threads, you'll see that people have interviewed in the last week of February as well. Don't lose hope, everyone still has a chance.

Just FYI, I got the email saying my application was complete on Dec 20th which is pretty early, so I believe the interview invitations are not sent out in any particular order
