Need quick advice before submitting.

I found out with 1 week to spare that my first choice recommender, a former supervisor, has been in the hospital (I don't see him everyday anymore). I was forced to scramble for a new recommender and chose a business partner. How much should I explain in supplemental question #1?

I'm set on applying for Rd 2.

Hey gents,

Just wanted to through my lot in with everyone as a Round 1 applicant for Haas. App completion notice received ~2weeks ago. It's going to be a christmas to remember (either way...)

Agree with GoBruins. From my experience, Haas Admissions office is very helpful/accomodating and don't hesitate to give them a call either.

Seriously. Does Berkeley interview that few people where barely anyone would hear for Super Saturday? I'm not quite sure what to make of this, if anything.

It seems like there's two scenarios:

1. GC and BW forum members are doing terribly this year and many of us are screwed.
2. Berkeley hasn't sent a good number of their invitations yet.

While I clearly prefer option 2, I also think it seems more likely. The people on these forums are highly engaged applicants; it would strike me as odd if such a high percentage didn't even get interviews.

I like Pook's explanation (option 2) better. :P

I still remember this waiting game that we have to play and how the speculations and conspiracy theories ran wild back then. Just remember, getting stressed over it will not help you one way or the other, so just relax (as much as you're able to) and the news will come. :) (I know, easy for me to say, haha)

I went to the Haas Information session yesterday, and did ask the Adcom about this. They replied that they are still shifting through all the applicants and it might take some more time before they are finished. She even said that she and her colleague were carrying some of the applications with them during these World tours and reviewing them ,albeit at a slower pace than if they were back in Haas.

The Super Sat interviews are slowly been trickled out, while the interviews invites for the international applicants would start in the next few weeks. So hang in there everyone, and don't get stressed. :wink:

phew, round 2 app in with 15 minutes to spare! :shock:

Now the waiting game...based on the Round 1 info I've been reading, I would say we shouldn't be expecting to hear anything until early February...would that be correct?

My second recommender did not have a business email ID. I had to give his personal email ID.

Any examples of having a similar situation from applicants or current/ex-students?

Will this be under big scrutiny?
