Hi, I am a bit confused with this time's admission process. I applied to CMU MSCF in 2018 Dec as well and got one interview. At that time I had no Quant Finance experience and a couple of irrelevant recommendations (not related to Quants). This time I was so confident about my prospects as I have over 3 years experience in Quant Finance (pricing model risk) along with glowing and relevant professional recommendations. I didn't even get an interview this time. What changed over the course of 3-4 years?
Feeling similar, I was also quite confident about my prospects at CMU. Seeing class profile of earlier batches, but haven't got an interview invite. Low key hoping that they might also be selecting folks without interview as well but don't know. Keeping my fingers crossed

Has this been done before? Students being admitted to CMU without interviews?

From what I have heard CMU, UCB, Princeton Baruch, GATECT admits do one or more interviews. CMU has an interview as a requirement for admission. But things change so I don’t know

The wait is killing me. Does anyone know the time when they usually send them? I have usually heard back from school at 8pm EST. Maybe to prevent calls from students? Haha

But do they still send out new interview invites?
Like you were invited last week and completed yours today.
Will they send out new invites again?

I don’t think anyone knows.

In previous years the conversion rate from interviews to admits was high but they have sent a lot of invitations. (At least it seems like it to me)

Unfortunately I did not manage to convert the interview into an offer. So conversion rate is certainly not 100%.

Applied in 2nd round and just received an interview invite. People who were interviewed in the first round how was it? Is the conversion rate as high as people say it is?

anyone received R2 interview apart from KiwiEngineer?
Anyone know when did the interviews start coming in for R2 candidates last year?

I could see using the link they sent to schedule my interview that they are constantly interviewing. And a few people who got admitted in Round 1 got the interview invitation about a week before the release of the results so don’t panic guys
