When Does CMU Tepper Issue Invitations to Interview?

Interviews are by invitation only and are required. Notifications to applicants begin within one week of the application deadline. However, applicants may receive an invitation any time prior to the decision notification date. The admissions committee prefers an on-campus interview if possible, but applicants can arrange a Skype interview.

The CMU Tepper admissions team conducts behavioral interviews. The technique is used to review a candidate’s specific experiences and behaviors. Candidates are encouraged to sign up for an application workshop in the fall.
