Hi, all -

Does anyone have the ticket for the following event?

New York Coffee Chat II
Wednesday, December 22, 2010 from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM (ET)

The tickets are so hard to come by. I am just wondering the exact location for the event so that I can drop by.

Thanks.

Did anyone else from R2 receive an email request today for an official transcript in order to complete the application and be put into review? In their application it said we would require an official copy if you are invited to interview, do not send these materials now etc...so is this a good sign!? Or is it too early for R2 applications to be looked at yet?

I'm gonna try to be positive and hope there is some meaning behind that :wink:

That's interesting. I have no clue what it means for you, and I'm not going to speculate (I've realized this thread is basically 90% speculation, worry and what-ifs :))...

But for mine (R2), when it went under review, it said there was sufficient documentation to review, but that I would need to submit the official transcript immediately if invited to interview.

Additionally, on my application status page (at apply.haas.berkeley.edu), right now it says, "We will require an official transcript from [school] if you are invited to interview."

You know, after thinking about it some more, I believe the "official" transcript they are referring to in the email and on the status page is one that needs to be sent directly from the school. I don't think the copy I faxed in counts for that anyway, I must have sent uploaded an unofficial transcript with the application, which apparently is not acceptable. oh well

I believe you are correct. The scanned transcript should be a copy of an official transcript. As for the official transcript that they request post-interview, that can be mailed directly from your school or from yourself, as long as the transcript is in a school-sealed envelope.

Same here Shark...

By the way - Anyone here with international undergrad - could you please throw some light on the transcript thing because where I did my undergrad from, they do not hand out sealed transcript. The best they do is attested copies. Would that work if Haas asks? Comments welcome ..

Correct--I received my R1 interview invite last week, and a reminder that since I'd been invited for an interview I needed to send in an official transcript. I had a few sealed ones left over from when I first requested them from my undergrad school, so I mailed one to Haas and got an email today confirming they had received it.

I interviewed today with an alum in the San Diego area--went pretty well from what I could tell. He didn't seem to be working off any notes or guidelines and spent most of the time asking me about my elevator pitch, leadership experiences, difficult management decisions I had made, how I earn the trust of my people, career goals, about a time where I "questioned the status quo," CEOs I admired, etc. We didn't do the standard "walk me through your resume" but we ended up referencing most of it at one point or another...i.e. "tell me about a difficult leadership experience in job X, or about using teamwork in job Y." It lasted about an hour in all.

Haas will take attested copies but you would have to mail originals to them and then they will take photocopies and notarize them in their office and mail the original transcripts back to you. Other thing you can do is request your undergrad institution to issue you another copy and put them in an envelope and get it sealed.

My undergrad insitution doesn't give a sealed copy either but I am sure clerk will do it when I'll bribe him with INR 100/- :)

It's been quiet for the last few days. Are people still receiving invites? The R1 decision date (Jan 13) is looming. Last year, the last reported invite on GMATclub was Jan 19 (post Super Saturday) when the decision date was Jan 27.

I'm guessing you probably received that "Holiday Closure" email. In it it says the office is closed for the holiday break, "Please note that the Full-time MBA Admissions Office will close for the winter break on Wednesday, December 22nd at noon and will re-open at 9:00 am on Monday, January 3rd. We will not be responding to voicemail or e-mail messages during the break. We look forward to serving you when we return to campus in January."

I would guess they might issue more invites for R1s after the office opens back up. It's not that the officers aren't spending winter break neglecting their families and reading our applications...I'm thinking they just don't do anything official until the new year.

Yep, they're closed from Dec 22-Jan 3, which is a little frustrating for me since I did my interview on Dec 22 so my interview assessment is sitting in someone's inbox in the admissions office, which causes my online application to still read "Invited to Interview." Oh well, I'm probably not the only one, and the AdCom will still have 10 days once they get back from break to get all their final stuff done.

What are thoughts concerning admission calls? Will we see any next week or have they historically gone out the week of the decision date?

As far as I know they announce on the decision date--my guess is it would be hard for them to do anything before then seeing how the admissions office is closed from Dec 22-Jan 3. I'm sure I'm not the only R1 interview that happened during that break, so I can't see the AdCom sorting through everything that came in during that break and getting it all in line quick enough to do any early notifications.

According to one of Haas' recent mails, it’s early January. I am thinking after R1 decisions are out on Jan 13th.
