<p>How did you guys get your Carnegie Mellon University interview? Did you request one or did someone just contact you?</p>
<p>either way works.</p>
<p>I posted this about a week ago to someone's exact same question:</p>
<p>You need to contact a local alum yourself to set up an interview. You should have received a brochure in the mail listing all of the interviewers. If not, here's a link on the CMU website that has a link to the interviewers directory.
<a href="http://my.cmu.edu/site/admission/men...00710d4a02008/%5B/url%5D">http://my.cmu.edu/site/admission/men...00710d4a02008/</a>
If you look about 3/4 down the page it pulls up there is a link in red to the interviewers directory.</p>
<p>See if there are any alums that live near you and contact them by phone or e-mail to arrange for an interview. I interview for CMU and we welcome the opppportunity. Good luck.</p>

<p>what if you decide to set up an interview now, but on your application you said that you didn't have an interview...
call CMU and tell them..or just not bother because interviews aren't that important anyways...</p>
<p>An interview with an admissions counselor replaces/is better than an alumni interview, correct?</p>
<p>kiwieux- i'd wait to you actually have the interview, then send a follow up note:</p>
<p>Dear <em>admissions officer</em>,</p>
<p>I just had my interview with ___.... it was very informative blah blah, i learned so much about carnegie....blah blah blah....closing sentence.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
<em>name</em></p>
<p>I emailed my local alumni person and got an interview within a couple of weeks. Good luck!</p>
