Uhhh, I didn't get that. Should I be worried?

Buddy, are you sure you didnt get this email?

Check your spam mail etc.

Given that almost everyone else seems to have gotten it, you shouldnt worry. They probably missed your email address while filling in the batch of addresses

Pretty sure. No email as of yet.

Why would Berkeley send out an email that makes you think you've been rejected until you've reached the 3rd paragraph. Haas is my #1 choice and I've been impressed with Haas' adcom so far but but this was really cruel.

Totally agree with you there 2011App. While I was reading the first half of the e-mail I really thought it was a rejection letter along the lines of "while your qualifications are impressive..." :lol:

We were very excited to receive your Round Two application to the Berkeley MBA program. We know how much time and effort you put into the application, and we appreciate your strong interest in Berkeley.

We have started to prepare your full application file and will notify you over the next month as to whether or not it is complete and ready to review; if your application is incomplete, we will indicate what is missing.

Our Admissions Committee takes great pride in reading and evaluating applications for admission. Every application, regardless of GPA, GMAT, or number of years of work experience, is read by a minimum of two readers. In many instances, an application is read by three readers, and sometimes four. As a result, it will take some time before we begin to extend our interview invitations. Please be patient as you await word from us. We anticipate issuing our first Round Two interview invitations beginning in January continuing through the end of February and possibly up to the notification date.

You should not be discouraged if you do not receive an interview invitation by our Round Two notification deadline of March 3. Some Round Two applicants will be offered a place on the waitlist without having been interviewed; such waitlisted candidates are welcome to schedule an interview in March.

Again, thank you for your strong interest in Berkeley-Haas. We look forward to reviewing your application!

I got this mail about an hour ago and I am a Round 2 applicant.

I got the same R2 email. I guess the waiting game officially begins... I was expecting crickets until Jan so kudos to the Haas adcom for sending a communication out already.

I received that Haas email while I was driving to Haas for my interview. Like everyone else, I thought I was somehow being dinged before I arrived.

I'm another R2 applicant who got multiple emails from Haas after submitting on R2 deadline. I thought it was a rejection considering how quickly they responded!

I don't think it's necessarily a bad sign. I interpreted that email as "please stop calling us asking if you've been rejected. We're not done yet." I'm hoping they need a little more time to digest the brilliance of my essays :-D

I was recently introduced to GC.

Boy! This wait is killing me. I am expecting a possible ding from another school next week. Having not received any invite from here, my confidence has sunken very low. I don't have the strength to apply to other schools in next round. Hell, I feel I don't even have the energy to be a re-applicant next year or a year after that. All this wait and no invites make me think that MBA is all over for me. Time flies by so fast while writing the essays. One moment it is early-September and the next thing you realize it's mid-November. Now, even one day seems like ages. Coping with this is very difficult.

Man! I missed that thing. I could have written it better - are the thoughts that run through my mind whenever I see my essays. When the mind is worrying about something else, you loose interest in work, even comedies seem uninteresting.

Ahh!! I thought I will just share these feelings. :(

i felt the exact same way before hearing back from kellogg - my confidence was shot, i was extremely depressed about the idea of applying to more schools in R2, and i just wanted this process to be over. my advice for you is to keep busy and to try not to think about the decision until you know for sure what it is. keep your perspective. stay positive no matter what the outcome is. bschool does not determine who you are or the quality of your contribution to society. clearly, this is all easy for me to say now, but trust me, i've been telling myself these things over and over these past few weeks... good luck!!!

I brought a sealed official transcript with me to campus and gave it to the receptionist when I checked in for the interview. If your interview is conducted off-campus, you'll need to mail in a sealed official transcript or have it mailed directly from your school.

I'm assuming that it does, but I could be wrong. It's probably best to call admissions for official guidance.

So if your interviewer replies to you saying "Best of luck in your MBA search!!" how would you take it? Is it a hint that you need to move on and focus on other schools?

Simmer down tiger. The interviewers are trained to be professional. They provide one piece of your application puzzle and really do not have input on the AdCom decision so it would be innappropriate for them to say anything too encouraging.
