Calling all Haas(Berkeley) EWMBA Applicants(2018 Intake) Class of 2021

Eek. 750 gmat and 3.98 gpa with 13 years experience and I'm down to hoping for the waitlist now. :/

norrab11,
I understand - I have a 730, 3.98 (we both obviously got one B), and 8 years of experience, and I too can only hope to be waitlisted. To be fair, it is the best program of its kind, and there are many non-performance related factors that schools use to select their students. I’m sure that you will be successful, and maybe even be accepted from the waitlist!

Waitlisted. Any R1 WL candidates with some tips?

Congrats. You can only wait unfortunately!

I was WL in R1. I submitted an updated resume with new publications (i work in academic life science research) and financial/mentoring responsibilities i had taken over at work. Submitted a third recommendation and had my supervisor submit an updated recommendation (she was one of my original recommenders). I also submitted certificates of completion from my volunteering activities plus a leadership development program i completed at work. I enrolled for the online math for management class and sent them that enrollment as my GMAT score was low and I wanted to address that. I sent them only the enrollment confirmation as I had not completed the course before the material submission deadline.

Not sure how much of this mattered but I hope this helps and good luck
