Haas EWMBA 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Thats what I heard too, but what is interesting is that they interview roughly 3/4ths of the applicants. What do you think they use as the initial cut-off for interviews? I was thinking maybe GMAT score or something.

I did not apply to other school. I spoke to several alums and current students about their interview experiences, they all told me that the AdCom usually do not review the application until after the interview to have a holistic view of the applicant.


JayLin20 - Just curious, did you apply to other schools as well? My interviewer said that they hadn't even seen my application when I was invited (which obviously was a little disappointing). I was thinking that it may have been due to the fact that I applied to some other schools (full time programs). If not, then I think it is a really good sign for you because they had a look at your application and invited you based on the quality of the application (just a theory).



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.

It was a great Haas visitation + interview day yesterday. Met over 50 applicants mostly all outside bay rea - nyc, boston, texas, atlanta....good luck to alll...

Did you guys get invited to the Haas visitation day separately or was it part of the R2 interview process? I interviewed in R1 and didnt even know about this haas visitation day

Can someone kindly share details about this Haas Visitation Day and whether you attended the event as part of R2 interview or received a formal invite to this event and had already interviewed prior.

Hi,

I have a quick question for EWMBA application resume format. I have 12+ years of experience.
Does anybody know if Haas prefers 1 page resume or 2 page resume, if years of experience is high?

As most of the schools prefer 1 page resume irrespective of experience level.

Thx...

Speaking for myself and other "outside Bay area" Rd 2 applicants I met during the Haas visitation day -
It was a Rd 2 interview + opportunity for campus visit and class visit for applicants living outside bay area.
There were also prospective students who were only in the class visit. Hope this comforts your anxiety....

For others who may also be worried about this, I asked Tammy whether the AdCom considers how much an applicant has done to learn about the program. She assured me that they do not track the number of admissions events that applicants attend, and that it is in no way factored into their final decision.

That being said, it's probably in our interests to learn as much as we can about the program. But I wouldn't go out of my way to attend unnecessary events to try to impress them.

They have an employment update form. Ask for it and they can provide.
