CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[SoumilB]

When did you complete your application?

I completed my application on 2nd Dec 2023 (Round 1)

I am still waiting

If it makes you feel any better, I submitted additional requested materials on a similar timeline as you and I am still waiting too

Same situation. Submitted a few days before the deadline, and have not heard back.

 

[kombuchalover]

Same here! Was asked for some extra info and haven’t heard anything yet about an interview. We’ll hear back soon.

 

[Alex Ng]

Since decisions are released on specifically March 1st in one batch, does this mean that applicants who have not received interview invites are likely to receive a rejection? Does anyone know if CMU's MSCF program gives offers without interviews?

My friend,2025 class of MSCF, got interview invite at 2/20/2023. And it also would be possible for them to put you into the WL.

My friend,2025 class of MSCF, got interview invite at 2/20/2023, which you can think it would be the last round of interview call. And it also would be possible for them to put you into the WL.

That's disappointing to hear, but thanks for sharing that info anyway.

 

[Grenade]

I do not recall where, on their website or on some standard mail, they do say that interviews can take place up until the first of March as well. I have heard that it is a very small team that goes through all the applications. So it is best to sit tight and wait. Anything can happen.

 

[aynana]

Did anyone else hear back from them? Is there any correlation between when we receive the 'Under review' email and the interview invite?

 

[Yifeifu]

I haven't heard from them yet. However, it seems that the number of interview invitations of MSCF is not too much compared to other programs this year... I don't know why.

 

[latus_rectum]

No, nothing yet. It's been more than 2 months since the application deadline.

Hi my son just received the interview invite this morning and the interview will be held on Wednesday 2/21 morning. Did anyone have interview experience with Emily Wertz? Could anyone share a bit about their interview process and questions please? Much appreciated!!

Not sure it's allowable for telling the questions and the interview process. But some thing I could share that all behaviral questions, Emily is super nice, understanding your own passion and MSCF's passion. I think it would be enough for preparing.

Does anyone know the interview - offer conversion rate for CMU?

 

[OneAsianDuck]

Are the results out for MSCF?

Judging by the Tracker for last year, everyone got their results on March 1st. I expect this year to be similar.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

I modified the Tracker layout so the timelines are shown clearly on the right column. This way, people can see where one submitted, got interviewed (or not) and the result date.

 

[latus_rectum]

Given that the results would be announced by March 1st, I guess if one hasn't received an interview invite till now means that they are rejected.

 

[Alex Ng]

I noticed that some people got in without interview according to the tracker, but I'm not sure if that's because they didn't enter a date or if they had a strong profile that the admissions accepted them without interviewing them.

Though, historically, I never heard an actual case where a someone got in without interview for this program specifically.
