Anyone from the Bay or California get theirs yet? I wonder if they do farther people to accommodate for travel...

That would suck so bad as MIT invites east coast first since it's close and Haas invites east coast since its far...lol but didn't we have someone from Hawaii got one yesterday?

Yeah, in theory it makes sense though if you think about it. But honestly, just pure speculation based on the people reporting invites so far.

Plus, Hawaii is a 6 hour flight. Not exactly close!

I received an email saying my app was incomplete and I needed to send in a hard copy of my transcript. Wondering if this moves my application to the bottom of the pile?

It won't move you to the bottom, I also need to send in a hard copy and heard back already.

Thanks for that, good to know. Did you actually hear back before your hard copy was presumably received?

Yep hardcopy only went out after I found out.

Do you remember how long it take between receiving invite and 'under review'? I wonder how long they take to review those that are already under review

A little less than 2 weeks, to be honest I was shocked they went out this early, had to re-read twice, was fully expecting end of month.

I also haven't sent my official transcript in yet and was invited yesterday. Somewhere in the Haas admissions FAQ it says they only request official docs once you've been invited to interview, so I doubt the lack of official transcripts during application review has any impact.

I'm also not sure there is any pattern to the way invites are released (by location, industry, date app received, etc). I think the pattern analysis we all try to do is just to impart some level of certainty on a very uncertain process...truth is, for schools with alumni interviews we basically just have to twiddle our thumbs for a month plus hoping for an email. It sucks, but it is what it is. Hang in there.

FWIW I'm in Hawaii, military, submitted the day before the deadline.

I had a dream I got an invite. Come on babyyy

Funny, I did too. Except in my dream my invite was immediately followed by a second email that said I'd already been waitlisted. And I've been fairly zen about the whole process...

My dream was strange too. We all waded through this maze, then made it to the adcoms. There they handed us clipboards and told us to mark down Haas' ranking per different sources like Newsweek, Forbes etc. I was unsure and guessed. Then they said interesting, and wouldn't provide a next step.

I woke up and realized I had not been invited.

Congrats on the invite! But that is even more weird then on my end then. I definitely never received an invite, my online application status says "incomplete", and they requested an official transcript from me...

So you wouldn't believe what happened with me...

For the last 14 days my email has not been working, some problem with my hosting provider.

I have changed all my Application email to my Gmail one. I checked my application online and it just says submitted.

All those who have been interviewed, does it say anything on your application portal ?

I am an intl candidate so hoping nothing has gone out.

FROM Haas Admissions Blog: The Executive MBA: Is it a Fit for You?

Perhaps you're considering an MBA, but feel you're too far along in your career to hit the pause button. Or maybe your job requires ongoing travel commitments, or you'd rather not relocate to earn the degree. If any of these describe you, may already know that a part-time MBA program could be the best fit for you.

But many people researching part-time programs initially only consider those with the evening/weekend format. In fact, many students who apply to Berkeley-Haas actually find theBerkeley MBA for Executives Program is a better fit.

“At first I didn’t consider the Executive MBA because I thought I wasn’t qualified,” says Ronak Shah, manager of the Algorithms Group for Altera Corporation. “My perception was that I needed to be a vice president or a director, and I wasn’t there yet.

“But during the interview process at Berkeley I discovered that qualifying is more about career trajectory and being on the path toward executive leadership.”

At Berkeley-Haas, EMBA students come from diverse industries, job functions and points in their career—what matters most is the value they add to the classroom.

The majority of students have 8- 18 years of work experience in jobs ranging from executives to doctors to sales managers to scientists. This not only creates a rich classroom experience filled with different perspectives, it allows students to keep up with the fast-paced, rigorous program.

Rigor is not what Danielle Dudum initially expected from an executive MBA program.

“I was under the impression that all of the executive programs were abbreviated with diluted academics,” says Danielle, global strategy & operations manager for Google. She found the opposite was true at Berkeley-Haas.

“More often than not I find our professors have not only analyzed and researched theories, but applied them in industry, so I have confidence in what I’m learning and in applying it at work. This, combined with the diverse experiences of my classmates, makes the program a very rich learning environment.”

Both Daielle and Ronak found another huge advantage with the Berkeley MBA for Executives: schedule. Students gather for a three-day session every three weeks, allowing for advanced planning around demanding work or travel schedules.

“The executive program schedule is paramount for me to continue to be successful in my career,” says Ronak, who plans customer site visits in between school sessions and often does his studying on long plane flights.

Danielle, who commutes daily between San Francisco and the South Bay, finds the block scheduling allows her to be fully present for school.

“I didn’t want school to feel like a chore and one more thing to do after a 12-hour work day. With the executive program I never feel that way because I have these long weekends of reflection and learning and development.

“I am working hard, but when I’m there I’m focused and investing in myself wholly—that makes the time and investment so worthwhile.”

As a reapplicant who interviewed last year, I can confirm that your interview invite will be in your application portal if you got one. So no need to fret if you can't see one yet. Doesn't seem they've released many yet (FYI - I am int'l / consultant and got my invite in the last 1-2 weeks before decision date)

Do you remember if your status is under review for a long time before the invite was out or was your invite was out a week or two after the status changed?

Do you remember if your status is under review for a long time before the invite was out or was your invite was out a week or two after the status changed?

- Applied in R2 (start Jan)
- Ready for Review email in early Feb
- No email trail until near mid-March (right up until the decision date) where I got an interview invite

I remember going crazy about "Ready for Review" vs. " Application under review" or something like that though - that was a silent change in your status that you didn't get an email about and it seemed to be somehow related to how they were sorting through people at the time but no one from last year's thread was able to figure it out -- it seemed inconsistent at best so I think it really depended on how the admissions officer who got your file was entering it into the system? I think some time closer to the date my status changed one way or the other.
