I have the same status message. Hard to infer a positive sign in this development.[/quote]

When did your status message change Sid?[/quote]

02/14 (Monday)[/quote]

Hmm... Waitlist is one possibility. I wonder what is the case for others. So much silence as if either all have got invites or have given up hopes. This process is much more difficult that I had imagined.[/quote]

I agree with you. W/L is a likely outcome. Hard to see an interview invite turn up this close t the deadline.

Guys I think I got that message from the time they told me that my app was under review... I really don't think we should read too much into this, but I agree with all of you that the wait is a killer this close to deadline !!
I'm loosing hope again and feeling powerless...

my status changed as well, but not sure when it changed. i hadn't been keeping tabs on it because i didn't want to be consumed by thinking about it. have people already been notified if they weren't invited, or is it all in one fell swoop?

I see a change in the online status

Earlier it used to say --
Your application for admission to the Berkeley Full-time MBA program is under review by the Admissions Committee. But we made need additional information....................

Today it says --
Your application for admission to the Berkeley Full-time MBA program is under review by the Admissions Committee. Please visit the web site again and log in with your user name and password on or after the decision date for the round in which you applied to check your application status.




I still have the old status message.

Mine changed too. Sounds like a ding to me.

Mine changed some time yesterday too. I only noticed because I keep the page up all day at work and home and refresh sporadically, just in case that interview invite email didn't make it through for whatever reason :?

Mine changed to this msg a few days ago and i called them if it meant something and she said it just moved through another step in the process and did not mean anything else. anyone from round 1 saw this msg and got dinged or waitlisted later on?

Hi, I know I am out of place to post anything here but I wanted to know where are HAAS EW MBA cataloging their progress in this club. I have gone thru the entire 57 pages and could find only 6 posts from EW ppl, I am aiming for EW starting fall 2012 and think this deserves a separate thread just to establish differences between the app requirements between the FT and EW and reduce confusion!

We keep the roll call for the EWMBA applicants on the first page of this thread. EWMBA was combined with the FT discussion, because there aren't enough applicants to keep a unique discussion alive. I believe the other EWMBA applicants are somewhat active in this thread, but you can also PM each other if you have any urgent questions. Please don't feel out of place posting here. You're a Haas applicant too!

I have the same message. Interviewed at Super Saturday. Sure hope the change is not an impending ding. Very interested to know if any R2 applicants who have interviewed have received final admission notice yet.

I interviewed SS and my status is still invited to interview. Hmmmmm. From reviewing previous rounds/years on the board it seems to be an inconclusive status change.

Hi all!
Been lurking for a while... This is a great community and has helped me a lot. Thanks!

I can tell you that rolling decisions have started to go out bc I just got a call from Stephanie Zujii to tell me I am in!! I hope you all can make it too!

Now I have a dilemma (a happy dilemma though)... My dream is to work in Silicon Valley (Google, Apple, Facebook...) after my MBA and I have also been admitted by MIT and I can't decide. What would you recommend me? I'll go to the MIT'S thread too to have the views of Haas and Sloan applicants. :)

Many thanks and good luck!

I know many Haas students right now who are applying to the very companies you mentioned above. There is a strong relationship between Haas and the Silicon Valley companies you mentioned. I don't know that much about MIT, but you don't hear of a lot of ppl in the area in tech that have an MBA from MIT. If you really want to work in Silicon Valley, I highly suggest Haas. I live in Silicon Valley and can attest to this.

ssp is right on, based on what I've heard from Haas students and alums. There's a big advantage in being able to drive 30 minutes and network with Silicon Valley firms as opposed to doing it over the phone or having to fly across the country to interview. Haas's experiential learning courses are heavily tied in with nearby tech firms and plenty of people get internships and jobs with everyone from the biggies like Google to new startups. Yes, MIT is well-known for tech but Berkeley's engineering schools aren't too bad themselves, and I've talked to plenty of people who said they spent plenty of time learning from the tech types through interdisciplinary classes or just by hanging around labs in their spare time.

Plus, you can't discount climate of the Bay Area vs. Boston....all things being equal, would you choose 9 months of spring/summer or 9 months of winter?


Congrats to all the new admits--hope to see some of you at D@H in two weeks.
