Haas (UC Berkeley) EWMBA 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Posted from my mobile device

Well, we'll know tomorrow. I have been waitlisted since R1 too!

Kenny you started this forum thread, I hope you get in

Lol.. Thanks, MBACLASS2013. If only they monitor these things. Good Luck to you!

Anyone got a call this morning?

is it all over.....any more calls today ???

Hmmm...I also think the calls were done yesterday...so far no one has posted being called today

I also think it is over. In previous rounds calls were coming in by this time. Sigh.

Last deadline (R2) I got my "you're on the waitlist" email at 12.25pm. So we might have a couple hours left to hope! Good luck, everyone!

Also, I attended a class visit a couple months ago, and was told that while many on the waitlist were left there to languish, at least a handful of folks were called up to join the class from the waitlist in June and July. So it may be worth completing your pre-reqs over summer so you're able to attend if you get the call, especially if you're intending to reapply next year anyway. If you're ultimately dinged, having the pre-reqs complete will only strengthen your application for next year. (Showing dedication to improving your application, showing commitment to attending etc.)

If it saves anyone time on identifying which classes will wrap in time for the 7/29 deadline, I believe both Foothill College & all 4 Peralta Colleges (Berkeley City, Merritt, Alameda, Laney) wrap by 7/25. I'm told that in prior years the EWMBA office works closely with you & the community college to get your transcripts over in time, and this was affirmed when I asked in my IV. The other option is shelling out a few additional bucks for the Data & Decisions (if you can get in and can commit to Saturday AMs all summer!) or doing the online stats through UC-Berkeley Extension (the class is supposedly just "read this" and "do these problems" with no instruction, but if you want to write a check to do some self-study and pass the final vs. attending a bunch of classes at fixed times, this could be your ticket.)

Just checked the posts on the day of the round two deadline and about half a dozen people got acceptance calls between 10am-1pm. Still have a chance!

Has anybody checked their online app status. Mine still says: File Under Review. Does this mean I should be still hopeful .

It says file under review till the end...but i guess its a sign of hope

Still waiting guys. I called the adcom and they said that the application status will be updated by 4pm. She didn't mentioned anything about any more planned calls.

My application status still says: file under review ....not sure if it means much now

for the guys who got in and got a call from admissions committee yesterday, what does your online status show? mine still says "file under review"

Getting the decision email and changing of online status both happen at the same time (some time today)

Just received the email - 'unable to offfer admission'
