I don't really know this particular program either. As far as I know, CMU's Computer Science department is one of the best, if not the best, in the US. However, I just noticed on the program admissions page that they've extended the deadline to April. I think this might be a big red flag as it indicates that they have trouble recruiting enough people for the next class.

The extension of deadline has nothing to do with quality of the program.

It has been emphasized that no funding is available for admitted applicants. So the students will be responsible for financing all $70,000 required to enroll in this program. (Add other peripheral costs to it.)

Of course a few applicants may be willing to pay $70,000 to $100,000 for a master degree in current economy.
