Waitlisted with interview. Haha! Just like last year. It's funny, though, I did everything possible to to improve based on the feedback they gave me. Oh well. It's also possible I effed up the interview as I had just gotten the admit from Yale, and was being suuuuper weird with the interviewer. Good luck to the rest of you on the WL.

One tip - you may want to start beefing yourself up right now. Take an accounting, stats, calc, or micro class. Lead a group of volunteers on something. Go traveling to somewhere you've never been. That kind of stuff.

I didn't hear anything about that either. My admission package arrived today at my home, but I didn't look at it yet, maybe there is some information there.

I haven't heard of any scholarship offer yet. But they definitely offered some, as they do every year.

I am a R2 applicant on the East Coast (US) and haven't heard either. I only saw one post in this thread of a R2 applicant hearing about an interview (UK-based applicant). Fingers crossed the adcom is tied up with R1 notifications at the moment?

Any R2 applicant from Asia receive an interview invite?

Seems sporadic invites have been sent out to US and Euro applicants.

Hey. I saw people posting about R2, same period I applied. I'm an East Coaster and was invited to a Super Saturday on-campus (Feb 4) for an interview. Invite came a couple days ago. No clue if the email is being staggered or not. I haven't visited the campus so I'm planning on going. Hope that helps.

Figured I'd bring this up again... Of admitted students, anyone receive any information regarding scholarships? Looking at last year's thread it seemed as though scholarships were mentioned on phone calls - that didn't seem to be the case this year, as I haven't read any reports of that here or on BTG

One more paragraph of one essay left to go for my round 3 application. This is the last application I'm doing, man I can't wait to be done. Anyone else have essay exhaustion?

A question for everyone who has gone through rounds 1 and 2, about how long after the deadline did Haas start sending interview invites for each round?

Oct 12 was rd 1 deadline. The earliest interviews were reported the week of November 7th and continued all the way up until January! Just finish up, submit and (try to) forget about it. You'll see if you read earlier posts that people were waiting for quite a while - some lost hope and were granted interviews late in the game.

Ok thanks for the information. Sounds like the wait could be very long indeed. I just have to figure out how to finish the "joy" essay and then I'm done.

Seems like the adage of applying to round 1 for best chances are wrong. I got rejected by all schools in round 1, which forced me to go through my applications and prepare better ones for round 2.
Does this mean that round 3 is going to be my best round yet...
