Anyone else have an interview for CMU MSCF for round 1? Have mine scheduled for Jan 5.
Got mine last week and it seems for the most part its purely behavioral, just seeing if anyone has any other information out there as well as how long it normally takes for them to get back to on whether they accept you or not?

No information for you, but I would just say that if you're getting an interview you have a very very good chance. I am still waiting on an interview. I wish you the best of luck! Would you mind sharing a bit about your background?

Has anyone else received an interview invite? Do they come out in batches?

Just finished my interview, think it went well. Was asked about what my future goals after the program and asked about what if that failed and what my back up would be just in case it didn't work out.
Talked about some weaknesses in my transcript for courses I performed "less than average" in and what happened there.
Overall, MSCF Admissions Team are super kind and down to earth they just really want to understand who you are, what you've done and where you want to go.
Results come out March 1st and I was told they come out in batches so don't get nervous if you haven't gotten one yet, I submitted my application early.
Good luck to anyone else with interviews.

Hi @ArnoZeldenrijk thanks so much for your insight for the interview.
May I know what preparation is required for the interview? Is there any technical aspect or mainly behavioral?

No real prep. All the questions were behavioral.

I submitted mine around 11/30. When I went in to register for my interview, only 2 days were available with a few slots each. They probably only send a few invites every week. Good luck to you as well!!

Admissions says they are reviewing applications in random batches and decisions released on March 1. No meaning to order of interview invites.

Do they accept materials this late? I was informed there's really only a two week window after the deadline for submitting materials.
Anyway, another comment pointed out that applications are reviewed in random batches. And based on last year's thread, seems like they continue interviewing candidates till the day decisions are released. So, I guess there's no way of knowing if and when you can hear from them. Could be any time before decisions are released.

Basically, there is an application screening process after the deadline of 3rd December where they will check if your submitted application is complete and error-free.
If they find some errors, they will ping you and ask you to submit those additional documents/materials. I think the deadline to submit the additional stuff was 23rd Jan to be considered for round 1.
But the catch is that they won't review your submitted material immediately after submitting your application. Your application will now be screened again at the end when all other remaining applications have been screened.
I don't know how these applications get affected for the interview stage (admissions committee review stage). Don't know if they will now be evaluated randomly or at the end.
