In that case, there is no aid for me too

Lets hope the admission package contains something.

So that makes 3 R2 Tepper admits from PG (Su08, ringwraith and Sowjanya - he/she hasn't posted here so far). Others who have received admits please post...
P.S. There's a facebook and orkut community for Tepper '2010 class. I am joining them (just search for "tepper" and they will come up)

I was interviewed by her in R1. 30 minutes, relaxed, no pressure style. Very standard questions: personal details, education and career progression, Why MBA, why Tepper, extra curricular activities, why should you be selected/not etc. Accepted.com's interview database should help.

Good luck.

Too bad...you were asked about McCombs, when you were attending the Tepper interview

... Sorry for the gaffe, couldn't help!

@amittyagi82
I was interviewed by Krystal as well. The interview went really well, and it was very conversational in nature. Not too many surprises really

My advice - Go to the Tepper admissions page, and click on "Tepper Admission Tips". Read Krystal's piece about how to ace the interview. That should be sufficient!

I am also waitlisted...

CMU puts lots of candidates on Wait List... More than 100 candidates have been waitlisted this year...out of them, 10- 15 candiates may be admitted...In 2007, only 2 candidates from Wait list were admitted.

Hi,

Even I applied for R3 for MSCF in CMU. I too dint hear anything from them.

I suppose I got rejected because of the delayed application (i.e. in round 3).

Anyone who applied in Round 3 please reply.

Hi,
Even I haven't heard from MSCF adcom yet.

But I found some sites where R1 applicants have said that even they received first communication on/after deadline day for first round and were interviewed after the deadline. So I still have my fingers crossed.

There are very few sites/blogs related to CMU MSCF , I am pasting links to the sites I found where you can look for relevant information.
