For street parking, there should be plenty of free 2 hour parking if you go south of Dwight. About .5-1 mile walk to Haas. You can also try northside starting with Hearst and going up on Euclid. Worst case scenario, just take the $35 ticket if you're running late.

Guys,

My on campus interview is coming up on friday. I plan to fly to SFO and then take a rental car (I need to go somewhere else after the interview, so prefer a rental car to a cab). I have heard that parking is tough near Haas. Which is the closest place to park ?

Thanks.


Its actually not that bad. I ended up finding a public parking place (covered). You just drive in to Durant (between Dana and Telegraph ). The rate is also cheap. I think I ended up paying 5 bucks for a few hours or so.


Definitely echo and recommend this option as well. There's a big red frame on the facade of this structure - you can't miss it. I think they also take credit cards. Street parking in Berkeley is too hit or miss for me if I have something important to do on campus. I think an interview would qualify!

Plus, you can get yourself some candy or a sandwich from the nearby shops to get your ticket validated, making it pretty affordable. A snack is also great for decompressing after the interview, no?

Other reminders: It's still a bit of a hike up (yes, up) to Haas, so give yourself plenty of time so you don't show up huffing and puffing. Make sure to give yourself time to get from SFO to Berkeley too. It's not super close, and depending on the time of day, traffic may be a factor.

Good luck!

I live pretty close to berkeley. Take the bart to downtown berkeley station, walk a few yards to the UCB bus stop and take the R line. Walking to Haas building can be difficult esp. with a suit and tie on. Link for bus schedule:

<5 posts so can't post link; pls. google 'uc berkeley bus schedule' and click on the pt.berkeley... link.

Have $1 ready for the ride. And yes, parking is a pain in the behind in berkeley. Also, driving through bay bridge and I-80 ain't cool either (look at gmaps traffic info during your interview times).

Hope this helps.

Yes, people were getting invites less than a week before the deadline.

I got a tweet from @UCBerkeley_Haas last night mentioning that there's a live chat with an advisor today at 10am Pacific Time today for anyone with questions about their application.

Question for R1 and R2 applicants - did your status say the following message before your interview invitation because they needed your trasncript if invited? They specify that they would need a transcript if invited in the "Additional Notes" below the message, but I'm wondering if I should call adcom and make sure they have everything else. Everything was electronic, so it's not like something got lost in the mail.

"Your application is ready for review, but we may need additional materials before a final decision can be made. Please read the note below, which indicates what is missing from your file. Please feel free to e-mail or call us if you have any questions regarding these documents."


My status says the same.

Haas had emailed me asking for some additional information because my alma mater gives very brief transcripts. I had scanned the details mark sheets, and they said that they would need me official versions of these should I be invites for an interview.

I haven't posted on this particular forum before, but the wait is killing me. Interviewed on SS but nothing so far. There were around ~100 candidates on SS and nearly 40-60% of them are supposed to receive admits. I see barely 5 here. Have they sent out all admits or most of them?


SS R2 candidate - heard nothing yet. Nervous as hell. One thing I noticed is that most of admitted candidates had a high GMAT scores 730+, 710. I have a GMAT of 700 and really hope they will call me soon.

Question: which phone number do they call from (just area code at least)? Had a missed call around noon eastern from some strange +42060... number (does not seem to be a US number at all).


The call comes from a 510 number. I wouldn't sweat on the 700 GMAT. You are plenty competitive

Really?! that makes only 4%... I thought it was more something like 25%

400 people to be the WL seems very high to me, where did you get these stats from?


https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/ra ... /haas.html

# Applicants wait-listed during the last admissions cycle: 472
# Wait-listed applicants admitted for the semester to which they applied: 19

Looking at last year's thread, doesn't seem like anyone heard anything until about June.

Hi, I am applying to EWMBA and have quick Q. The career sections asks for a sepereate record for each position held in the company... does that mean I have to specify the dates for each promotion etc etc. that is just too much of detaill... Any thoughts guys...


I would suggest breaking it out separately if you changed teams or had major changes in the scope of your role, but if you got promoted within your group lump it together. That's what I did anyway.

@capuella, if offcampus is all that works for you go for it. Plenty of us got in R1 with offcampus interviews.

hey nifoui, you've already been admitted to Kellogg. Will you choose Haas over Kellogg?

I wonder what all these WL rejected mean... were applicants to R2 so good that there wasn't enough space for R1 WL? Makes me wonder how much chance that leaves us with (R2 WL)


Difficult question for me at the moment, Haas is my favorite choice and Kellogg second choice. So the choice isn't so terrible, but for now I will wait for Haas' final decision before confirming attendance to K, if the wait goes too long I will have to choose K (which I would be very happy about too...)
I have to say that the GMAT Club reports of Haas WL results so far aren't very encouraging!


It is a difficult question to have isn't it? :-D . My friend chose Haas over Kellogg primarily because his goals fit in better with Haas (small class) and bay area location. Congrats on Kellogg!

People who got admitted, did you get emails from local alums and or any professor?

Folks - if you have any questions on interview etc, pm me and I will try to help

Good luck

Is this the typical?


Is there a "note below"? If so do what it says.

Have you interviewed or been invited to interview? I remember my status saying something similar after I was invited to interview--I had to send in an official sealed transcript since I had uploaded an unofficial transcript to my application. Or it could be that they need an official GMAT score, clarification on your undergrad GPA if you're from outside the US, or something like that.

Hey you guys! I have one question regardng my application status report.
I was invited for an interview last week which means, accordining to the webpage, that Haas requires “an official transcript and degree certificate issued by Universidad de Los Andes in the original language with an official English translation”. Does this mean I can send the original transcripts myself with the official translations or do I have to ask for my University to send the documents and translations in a sealed envelope (like you do with WES or other data verification agencies)?
Thanks for your help!


You can send both of them yourself as long as they are the original ones (or attested from the university itself). Don't forget to send the original degree certificate too. I sent in only the transcripts and i was asked to send the degree certificate too.
