Haas EWMBA 2012 - Calling All Applicants

That seems above average for the score, and the work experience sounds great. The two things that I would say that are probably important are, (1) Did you do well on the quant part of the GMAT?, (2) Do you have some sort of a manager title at work?

These are things that seem to be important for the EWMBA program (and Haas in general). I think Haas more so than other schools really wants it students to have high Quant scores. If you are good in those areas, then I think you still have a good shot. Even if you dont have those down, your profile still seems competitive for the program.

At the bottom of my online application in the prereqs section it shows the following:

Prerequisite Courses:
College-level Mathematics: Complete
Statistics: Incomplete
(if blank, then not yet reviewed.)

Does that mean that I meet the math requirement (I'm guessing the quant part of the GMAT)? Also, is that a good sign that you have shown quantitative proficiency in your application?

That is correct.

Thanks for the input! I appreciate your breakdown.

I got 49 on the quant and I am currently a project manager. I'm not sure if that is considered "high" or if my management experience is sufficient. Either way, all I can really do now is get my fingers crossed and pray for the best. If it was meant to be it will happen.

[quote="JayLin20"]Thanks for the response.

GMAT 700. Nine years of work experience in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. B.S. and M.S. in engineering. Two great recommendation letters.


[quote="CaliCpa"]I wouldn't be too worried at this point. I think there is still some time. What are you stats (i.e., GMAT, WE, etc.)?

Did any of you get the chat transcripts, yet? i think the adcom mentioned that we would receive it today.

That is a great score. I think they really look at the 48 (90th) cutoff, so if you have a 49, you are good there. If it is lower than a 48, then they go to other "aspects" of the app. It sounds like the work experience is there too, so I think you are set. Just sit tight, and I am sure it will come through soon.

I was a little worried, because I have some "bad" grades on my UG transcript (many years ago, > 5 years) in quant courses, but retook the classes. Maybe they really rely on the Quant score at this point (which is what I have heard).

JayLin20 your profile looks above the 80th percentile. Assuming you went to decent American schools and wrote decent essays I say you are golden.

You've really raised his expectations...now he's going to hate you if he doesn't get in...J/K...

LOL. CaliCpa and goodluckMBA are in the clear. I'll keep my expectations in check. Thanks for the encouragement.

Also, I received my interview invitation.

Nice, congrats!!! I knew it was coming.

Is there a certain format to accept a waitlist position?

As in?

When you reply to the email saying that you want to be on the WL- is there a certain format for that?

Im following a general business format

I see. That should be fine I think.

Can anyone tell me how many hours a week of study/project work does EWMBA at Haas require? (excluding the number of hours spent in classroom)

I am mom to a one year old with a full time job and I need help in deciding if I will be able to devote enough time for MBA.

I read in old chat transcripts that it's around 11 hours. Which sounds about right for two 3-hour classes. Rule of thumb was double the hours during undergrad.
