Even though I submitted my application well in time, I still haven't received the video link. Probably because it still shows on my portal that they haven't received my transcript. I'm an international student and I had asked WES to send in my transcripts but it seems they haven't been received by Heinz. Until and unless my application is complete, I won't be able to access the link. I did contact them and I received a generic email stating I should wait till 28th Feb before contacting them about my documents. It's just that I feel that it's too late already. What do you guys think I should do? Isn't it too late already? I have a feeling my application won't even get reviewed because of this :/ just so you know, me too...

My application is still incomplete because they have not received the official transcripts. Just don't worry, until Feb 28th we just have to wait.

Daddy-O Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Yeah it may very well be a month before anybody hears anything...Anybody knows the admissions statistics for this program, they are very hush hush about it Edited February 14, 2018 by Daddy-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmm3 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 My application has just become complete and ready for review. I received the email with the interview invitation which I will complete this weekend. I suppose those that haven't received the link yet, will be receiving it in the upcoming days.

Oh thanks for letting us know. Do you think it'll reflect badly if someone doesn't opt for a video interview? Esp for an international applicant?

I cannot find why as an international applicant someone would not make the interview. If your speaking scores are not strong, you have an opportunity to compensate. If your speaking scores are strong hopefully you won't have any problem with the interview, if you screw up you still have high speaking scores. Have in mind the interview is used by the AdCom as a differential factor when two applications are very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling my application won't even get reviewed because of this :/ I called Carnegie Mellon a month ago and asked this exactly, same case, same date. They told me that if it's in by February it's all good. So don't worry and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyapplicant Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My MSPPM application was noted as finally complete a few days ago. I completed the video interview last night... I really wish I had spent more time preparing for it. The questions move very quickly! I hope it doesn't matter too much for admissions. I can't imagine it does.

I can't imagine it does. if you're identical (or as close as one can be to an admissions team), they'll choose the interview candidate 9/10 times. I think that's the largest impact.

I think mid-March makes sense -- seeing as how flooded they were with applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy-O Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You all think they got slammed this year? And does anyone happen to know their admissions rate historically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policyapplicant Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I don't actually know. I'm just guessing from the emails they sent about how stressed their admissions office was and how they requested that we do not call at all. I assume from those communications that they're a bit overwhelmed. No idea about the historical admissions rates/numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethrs Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Also there's no app fee, which means they probably have more people saying "why not!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
