Does anyone know how long the Kroll background check takes? And do we receive some kind of confirmation when it's completed? It just occured to me that I haven't heard from Kroll or Berkeley and it's been over a month. Thanks

I got a message after four or five days: "Kroll has successfully completed your Berkeley MBA verification. All of us at Berkeley look forward to seeing you during Orientation in August. Thank you for your cooperation." I hope that's it! If you haven't heard anything, check back with Kroll:

What exactly does the Berkeley MBA verification consist of? Does Kroll basically verify that the transcripts you submitted are accurate or is there a more comprehensive search?

Thanks,

Kroll checks you employment history, but that's painless as long as you told the truth in your application.

After wasting a lot of time doing research on some of the other threads for Haas...it seems as though a majority of the acceptance calls come in between Wed - Thurs.

And if you won't get a call by Thursday evening (5PM-ish) - then expect to see your online status to change by Friday either to a waitlist or rejection.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but that is what I have noted from previous years.
