Anybody know when the first acceptance calls/emails will start happening? After their holiday break or could a few trickle out beforehand?

Based on the 2010 thread, admissions calls don't begin until 1-2 days before the final decision date. It's a small sample size, but I don't think decisions are made weeks in advance.

I just got this email with the subject "Berkeley MBA: Holiday Closure & Applicant Information"

Same here, though I thought it was because one of my recommenders are late on their review. Anyone else get this?

Received this email as well. Also received a revised one shortly after correcting the Round 3 deadline date.

My application is still not under review (R2 applicant) and it's been 15 days since the deadline. Any one else in the same boat?

Don't worry too much at this point--I didn't get that notification until 13 days after I submitted for R1, and my guess is that they're dealing with a lot more apps for R2 than they saw for R1. Unless you submitted a few days ahead of the deadline they're probably still working through them in no particular order. As long as the online module says you've submitted everything you need to, you're fine.

Anyone had their application go under review late in R1? (i.e. mid-end november or later) It seems most of the applicants I've seen on this thread had the status change at least 2-3 weeks earlier.
If yes, when? Did you get an interview invite if I may ask?

Thanks.

My application went under review 11/17. I haven't heard anything from Haas beyond all the emails everyone has been getting. Been checking this forum and email basically every hour, but I have a feeling I won't hear anything either way until early January.

I have the same feeling. Mine went under review on 11/22. What I noticed from the replies on this thread that the average response time for an invite was ~5-6 weeks. That is just my 2cents.

well, mine went under review on 10/28. I am convinced my application is already on the Ding pile.

Still hoping against hope though... :(

Had my interview Friday. So surprises - very professional, no trick questions. Go to clear admit and prepare answers to all the questions you find there and you'll be fine.

Had my interview last week, and I think it went well. Definitely check out the clear admit wiki for the types of questions. It focused mainly on my work history from the perspective of how I made the decisions that led to my career progression.

Anyone know what the next steps are in the admissions process? Do they have more people read my app? Or is the interview the last step?

For all those who have had their interview for R1....

Has your application status changed?

I interviewed early November and mine still says:

"The Admissions Committee has completed a preliminary review of your application for admission and would like to invite you to interview."

I just wanted to see if anyone else had anything different on theirs?

They showed recent graduates crying about their student loans. I agree, experience would be priceless, with a hefty price to pay.
