This throws a wrench is the otherwise orderly R2 application pattern Haas has four rounds instead of three so the timing of the rounds is different.

[size=80] Why would that kill your chances? I know for a fact that the law school is notorious for not admitting alumni, I am just assuming the b-school is too... I am not sure why, but when I was at Cal I knew a lot of peers applying to law school and engineering masters programs that got into Stanford, MIT, etc and got rejected by Cal... I am not super optimistic.

I am not super optimistic. That tends to be the case for law schools but business schools don't seem to follow that trend. For example, I went to Northwestern for undergrad and have a bunch of classmates who are currently first years at Kellogg. As far as Haas goes, I read the transcript for one of their online admission chats and a couple of the student representatives had been Haas undergrads.

so since Haas has 4 rounds instead of 3 like other schools, applying in the 3rd round is not necessarily a suicide like other schools...am I correct in assuming this?

The 2011 employment report doesn't seem to be out yet, but do any of the current students have an estimate if the avg/median salaries went up this year?

This is such a load of BS...
I looked at the 2011 thread, and last year interview invites started to go out on Nov 1, and their submission date was the same as ours (10/12)...
I'm not sure whats going on, but it feels like something happened and they are way behind... then again, their decision date is a few weeks after Stanford and Booth which had the same submission date, so maybe they are just moving a bit more slowly because they can...
-Cheers

While I think it's definitely safer than those schools with only 3 rounds, I applied Round 3 two years ago and got dinged after interviewing, visiting, and waitlisting, and when I received my feedback, the largest point was "We just wish that you'd applied a Round earlier." They had a few more points, but the overall gist was that I was just on the cusp, and the timing had made the difference. Needless to say, I applied Round 1 this year.

Haas’s essay question 6A I was going over my second draft and I noticed a subtle point. The question asks you about “how have your professional experiences prepared you to achieve these goals?” Emphasis is on the “prepared”. When I wrote my first draft I understood this questions as “How my professional experience has inspired me to achieve the goals”. I made the changes. I wonder if anyone else noticed that or I was the only one who did not understand the question well. That was a close call
