CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[Aadithya Narayanan]

I am a bit skeptical, because the person indicated he submitted his application on January 9th, which should be pushed back to Round 2. It doesn't make sense to me that none of the applicants in Round 1 are qualified enough to receive invitations before a Round 2's applicant is even being considered, don't you think?

yes bro, but lets wait.

Right on the last day of Round 1 deadline (Jan 5th). Background is so so. Currently a PhD international student, obtained my MSc in Math (4.0 GPA) in August 2016 at an unknown state school in the US. Low GRE score, but it was 4-years ago (V/M/W: 148/170/3.5), and Math GRE Subject (800 - 80th percentile). Two letters are probably great, another one is probably so so (all three came from Math and O.R. professors at my current university). Always love Finance (particularly on the investment side), and found this program a great match with what I am lacking as well as what I could contribute to.

Hi guys,
I am new to quantnet. And I should have updated you guys earlier.
I got my interview invitation on Feb 10th and I did it on Feb 15th. They offered me six different dates, 13-15 and 20-21, and there were around 6 spots each day, either on site or online. I was surprised to hear that they weren't lots of people who got invitations on this forum, since there were still many spots available.
The interviewer told me that decisions would come out on March 20th altogether. I am now waiting for it, anxiously.
