Hello everyone, Did anybody do Haas prerecorded 'video interview'? Which question did you get? Thank you in advance

Cheers

cxiong · Answer

I did it yesterday - to be honest had a lot of trouble with it, though not because of the question bank.

Questions were pretty standard, focus on collaboration, teamwork, why MBA, why Haas etc

They definitely don’t set out to trip you up, but 3 minutes is very tight to answer the questions to the extent that I personally wanted to.

Hi Everyone,

I’m a waitlisted candidate from Round 1. I have some deposit deadlines that are coming up. Should I let Haas know about it? If so, is there a polite way I can communicate it? The other admits I have aren’t as highly ranked as Haas. The only other comparable (in my mind) offer I have is from Kellogg to be on the waitlist.

Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

To those wondering, I just received an email back saying that those who have been waitlisted in Round 2 should try to complete the video interview by May 7. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi, I was waitlisted in R1 and I have been admitted to two schools in R2. I'm wondering if anyone was admitted from the R1 waitlisted in the R2 decision cycle?

Tigaba · Answer

Nop... I am in the same situation R1 Waitlisted. 
Does anybody know when is the R2 deposit deadline for accepted applicants?
Thanks
Cheers

Hello there - first off good luck to everyone!

Question about submitting additional letters of rec - on the website it says, "You may provide up to two additional letters of recommendation for your file, if the letter(s) will add information that was not provided in the original letters submitted. To submit a new recommendation, please email or mail us a hard copy of your new recommendation form."

In the interest of time (recommenders still writing) I would like to use the e-mail option. But if I were to e-mail the letters of recommendation myself to the committee, I could theoretically read them (not that I would - but is that looked down upon by admissions if we send ourselves) - so should we have the recommenders themselves e-mail the schools?

Thank you!

Hey! The AdCom has requested that the recommendations be sent to them by the recommenders themselves. It should be sent to their admissions email address.

Would also recommend you to have them write your name in the subject/body of the mail for easy identification.

Hi guys, 
Have you heard anything? It is dead silent this year... very strange!

Someone shared that they got an offer off the waitlist for the MBA/MEng program on clearadmit. Besides that, it's sheer anxiety, day after day.

Hi  spiralizedpotato ,

For the recommendation by email, should it be in the template of email or PDF?

For all,

Did anyone got admitted from the waitlisted status? Can you please share what are the ways to do it? How do you address lower average of GRE both quant and verbal?

Thank you.
