Haas EWMBA 2012 - Calling All Applicants

The interviewer will only have seen your resume. I think the vast majority of interviews are 30 minutes so I wouldn't be worried about the time. I'm guessing the 1 hour interviews may have gone over?

Did you hear back from Haas. How much time do they take to review your application individually

No, I have not heard back from HAAS yet. I think they should get back to me next week though. I would think it takes them no more than a week or 10 days to review your application amidst all other applications..

Anyone in a similar situation (acceptance from UC Davis and waiting for HAAS' reply)? Have you heard anything from HAAS?

Hi, I'm a 3rd round applicant. I also registered a stats exam on 18th. However, today I checked my application status, it also shows that both my Prerequisite Courses are complete. Does that mean I don't have to take the exam? Since I've never taken any statistic course before, I'm a little worried that it's just a system glitch... Please advice.. Thanks

My math requirements were also updated recently. It states my math pre-req is complete with statistics showing as incomplete. Unfortunately I don't expect to hear the admission results until we get closer to the deadline and I don't believe I can sign-up for the statistics course/waiver unless admitted (please correct me if I'm wrong as it sounds like I may have the wrong info).

As for your question, it's up to you if you don't feel your knowledge with Statistics is up to snuff. If your app says you're complete, I would assume you're good to go.

Hi, GZR4DR

Thanks for the response.
I believe you can sign up for the waive exam just by logging into your status report, and you should be able to see this,

You have invitations to private event(s). To find out more or to RSVP, please click the link below.

At least that's what I have.

Best

Thanks for the tip! As it's already the 8th and I haven't taken a stats class since 2002, I'll probably have to take the stats course offering on campus in June if I'm admitted.

Just for curiousities sake, do all prospective students (even those not admitted) have the math requirements updated before getting their admit/deny/waitlist results? I'm trying to see if I should look positively on the update .

I am actually in a similar situation. I expect to hear from them within the next week or so.

I have to be out of country for three weeks (May 28-June 15) due to a personal matter and unfortunately I can not change the timing. Since decisions are made during the last few days of May, I'm wondering what the best approach should be in case I get admitted. Do I have certain time-frame within which I have to accept the offer? Is any deposit required?
Any help / suggestion would be appreciated.

Same thing here... my prereqs were updated online: stats incomplete, math complete. I'm not sure it means anything, other than knowing the fact that the adcom has already reviewed my file and maybe even made a decision already. I'm not getting my hopes up...yet.

Any R1/R2 folks remember the timing of if/when your prereq status was updated before your admit/ding?

@chicagomba... I have the same question as you do...Folks from R1/R2 or even R3..please tell us when your Pre-reqs were updated ?

Also, have another question, Incase we get dinged, does Haas reveal the decision before June 1st ?

R1 WL here. The pre-reqs getting updates has no correlation with your chances of admission. The adcom quickly looks at your GMAT quant score and whether you took a stats course in the past 5 yrs to update your pre-req. It is likely for this to happen before your interview.

I don't expect haas to announce results either way before the June 1st deadline.

Hi guys,

I'll take the statistics waiver exam soon, but not sure what kind of calculator I can use during the test. Will the scientific calculator be allowed to use during the test? Or I have to buy a basic one?
Many thanks,
H

***PLEASE READ IF YOUR MATHS/STATS REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED AS COMPLETE ****

So as you know the math and stats waiver in my case were listed as complete. However, I decided to check with the office if that was indeed the case and I didn't have to take the waiver exams. The answer I got was that there is indeed a mistake and that my stats requirement are incomplete and I would have to take the stats waiver exam or take a stats course. Please check with the admissions office if you are in a similar situation. Now I am regretting slacking off on the stats prep and not checking with the admissions office earlier. The waiver exam is on 18th but I have decided to cancel it, and take the exam/course in June.

Did you hear anything from HAAS? I have not.

2 more weeks to go! I somehow feel being waitlisted after June 1st could be the worst outcome for me....may be not

Has anybody heard a decision in last 2/3 weeks. Lets keep the spirits up by posting any updates as we go through these very long days ahead of us!

I also got a status update on prerequisites ---Math-complete, Stats-Incomplete.

Same here. I got the same status update.. Based on the FB update, it seems like there are 4-5 new members in the last 2 weeks. I was told that they'll notify everyone only in the last two days.. Good luck everyone.
