Calling all Berkeley-Haas Fall 2010 Applicants

I would contact anyone here:

Co-Prez is probably a good place to start.

Hi Kryzak,

I contacted 2 people off that list and did not get any response
Do you know any student I can contact?

Has anybody come across the Certificate in Certificate in Energy & Environmental Innovation (https://ceei.berkeley.edu/p2.html), offered by CEEI? It sounds similar to MOT. There doesn't seem to be much information available on it yet.

I believe this is a new certificate for MBAs that will focus on Energy, where as MOT focuses on managing technology in general and is not specific to any tech industry. It should be more defined later in the year.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Kryzak, it sounds like something really interesting. I plan on visiting in the last week of Sept so hopefully I can try to talk to someone involved.

LGBT Diversity Admissions Workshop in New York!

Some of you might not know this, but Haas is committed to attracting and forming a very diverse student body, even with some of the limitations that California's Prop 209 puts on it. We are one of the very few schools that have not just the Women and Minority Diversity Admissions Workshops, but also not one, but two diversity admissions workshops for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) applicants, thanks to the hard work of the Q@Haas student club, company sponsors, and dedicated alumni.

With that said, the first event in New York City is coming up on 9/10, Thursday, 6:30pm, at JP Morgan Chase, with all the event details and registration here:

As the VP of Admissions, I will be there along with admissions officers, students, and alumni to answer your questions and talk about Haas.

For information on the Women (10/10) and Minority Workshops (10/31), and the LGBT Workshop (11/21) at Haas, please check out this website and register accordingly.

Cheers!

I'm surprised there's a lull on this thread, considering everyone should be visiting schools and doing their R1 apps at about this point. =)

Anyway, here are some resources that will be useful for many of you to learn more about Haas whether through cyberspace or in person:

Haas Student Blogs - a great way to get a glimpse of what student life is like on campus. Informal, fun, and lots of pictures.

Haas Student Ambassador (HSA) Blog - new format this semester, we will be bringing back the "A Day in the Life" of our student ambassadors. This is a more detailed and structured overview of a typical day as a student at Haas

Haas Visitation Program - Come for lunch with students, an infosession right after, and then a class visit if it fits your schedule.

Student Clubs - do some research on what clubs will help you network and make friends who are like-minded in career and/or social interests!

And of course, if you have any questions, feel free to post them here or email hsa@haas.berkeley.edu!

So I would take it to mean to avoid visiting on a Friday? I am going to be in the Bay from Oct 1st - Oct 4th and really wanted to drop by to see a class, but they are all full on Thursday. Would it make a difference other than the classes?

I'm still on the fence about Haas, the admission rate is just pretty damn scary. I am debating about going to the admission event tonight at Bain in LA. Has anyone been, is it worth it?
