Just a quick reminder that you can and should use the Tracker to keep track of your applications. It would be of great help to future applicants.

Hi Shweta, could you please tell when they sent out the invite. Given it's sunday, I wonder if they are working.

The wait is killing me.

Can you say anything more about it? Was there anything technical?

Nothing technical, Rick first asked how I learned about the program, then about career plans, and other programs I applied to. Then I asked him a couple of questions. Then interview only went about 12mins, and it's more like a chitchat

Rumor has it they only want to check out your mental health state.

Well, then I have to say my answer was pretty healthy, nothing anti-social~

 

[Shweta]

Do both Rick & Gwen conduct behavioral interviews ?

 

[Shweta]

Andy Nguyen I have my interview with Gwen, and from most of the CMU based posts, it appears that Rick conducts an "easy" interview where he asks the standard Qs each yr... but Gwen has a more "different" interview than the standard Qs... any tips on how to prepare for my interview (with Gwen) ?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Both are non technical interviewers so if you have done your research on CMU MSCF, why MFE, etc (things you put in your application), there is no reason to worry. Much of it would be to assess your English and communication skill.

 

[Shweta]

Thanks Andy Nguyen

 

[samareshgupte]
