Hey rockyroro,

I haven't seen many Indians reporting interview invites on this forum. With just a week to go before the decision date, I doubt if they'd be able to arrange for Alum interviews even if the invites do go out. All the best for everyone waiting though!

Invited to interview

: to all of those who still haven't received any news don't lose hope until the last day, it can still happen !

What time slots are open to you? Are they all local alumni interviews?

Hi Wilch, I'm interviewing off campus and I haven't been given any deadline but I'm guessing it's in my best interest to have the interview quite soon. It will be with an alumni.

FROM Haas Admissions Blog: Google's "Perfect Teams" Reflect Berkeley MBA Curriculum

Photo: Teamwork in action in the Cleantech to Market applied innovation course

When Lecturer Brandi Pearce opened the New York Times Magazine's "Worklife" issue last week, she was thrilled. The lead story was a fascinating deep dive into Google's team performance research, and the conclusion sounded like a page from the Teams@Haas curriculum Pearce has spearheaded in the Berkeley MBA Program.

The Google researchers, after hunting for patterns among 180 teams over more than three years, found that successful teams share certain "group norms:" specifically, a culture of empathy and communication, where everyone has a chance to speak and contribute.

"It was really exciting for me see a company that so many people recognize come to the same conclusions that we have unraveled through science," says Pearce, who studies group dynamics in global organizations.

These positive group norms that support the development of "psychological safety," as outlined in the article, are at the heart of the Teams@Haas curriculum, now in its third year in the full-time MBA curriculum. It's unusual in that rather than being a stand-alone course, Teams@Haas is woven throughout the program, building on itself as students gain new skills.

The program culminates in the applied innovation courses, where students work with outside clients. (Read more about how the Teams@Haas curriculum helped a group break through even the most mundane challenges and build a successful team.)

"Google highlighted the importance of creating a team climate in which people feel safe to take risks, where everyone's perspective is voiced, and in which members actively engage in reflection and feedback," Pearce added.

Though it might sound obvious that teams where people listen to and respect each other perform well, it's sometimes easier said than done—especially in complex work environments where differences is required, and leveraging them is essential for growth and innovation. Effective collaboration requires a series of skills, such as giving and receiving feedback, that don't come naturally to everyone. Yet they can be learned.

In addition to defining the behaviors that foster collaboration, Teams@Haas the curriculum gives students specific tools, which Pearce likes to refer to as scaffolds.

“In a construction project, the scaffolding is transparent and strong, and can be reconfigured easily as the project evolves," Pearce says. "We give students a set of collaboration tools that do exactly that. ”

Those tools include the interpersonal capabilities to promote a positive team climate and cultivate a shared understanding of goals, as well as how to recognize each other's motivations and coordinate work in a fluid and dynamic context.

The curriculum also extends and reinforces the Berkeley-Haas Defining Principles: Question the Status Quo, Confidence Without Attitude, Students Always, and Beyond Yourself.

Hey guys,

I tried to find some interview questions but could not find many. Do you guys mind providing how the interview experience was and what questions your interviewer asked? Thanks!

Hey suv8080, the best resource I found for interview prep was Clear Admit's Interview Archives - there's quite a few submitted for Haas for Round 2 this year - including one of my own :-D

After reading through a few, you'll get a sense of what you'll most likely be asked.

No iterview, under review since 2/8, and haven't heard since then. Only 1 week left, so most likely a ding.

How's everyone holding up waiting on decision time? I can't believe we'll find out decisions this week!!! Any idea when and how they post decisions?

Do you all already have a first choice school, or are folks holding off till they see where they get in?

Good luck everyone! The wait is almost over :-D

Thanks! I actually applied two years ago and got denied without interview everywhere I applied. GSB was my dream school, but I'm sure any school we end up at will be an amazing and worthwhile experience. As to your question about visiting, I will say I only visited two of my schools before applying (GSB and Haas), while I got interviews at the other three that I didn't have the funds and time to visit.

If I were you, I would personally hold tight and see if you get an invite this week (I believe Haas sends out invites up until the deadline?). I think it's very unlikely that visiting now in an attempt to connect with an admissions decision-maker would change anything, but then again, I have heard that positive interactions like this can push candidates across the line to the “admit pile” or boost already strong candidates. Perhaps an Admissions Consultant can weigh in here, since I'm really not qualified to comment.

I know it's not much of a consolation, but at least the wait is almost over. Plus, you got interviews at some awesome schools! Keeping my fingers crossed for you, and best of luck -- stay positive, it's not over till it's over

Thanks,

Wow you must be very determined. And Thanks for the positive comments. I was talking to the admissions and as I was told for any information after the submission date there is no guarantee that it will be considered during application evaluation. At the same time she welcomed to submit anything new and as well as school visit. Now, only 1 week away from the decision date I am just thinking... I couldn't make it to the campus before just because my job didn't allow me. Anyways, fingers crossed! I got accepted by Fuqua so at least have it under my belt. See I cannot wait for another year and re-apply as I am already 31yr old:)
Haas was my top choice because it sends more candidates to the energy industry than other schools (like Fuqua does).

FROM Haas Admissions Blog: Evening and weekend MBA Student Founds "Smart Mailbox" Startup

Evening and weekend MBA student Shuai Jiang has come up with a better way to receive, track, return, and manage online packages.

With a small team of fellow students and additional support from his part-time MBA cohort and the MBA curriculum, Jiang founded Enchantin Inc. and created the uCella Smart Mailbox, which secures packages when they are delivered or returned and can be managed through a mobile app. The startup already has $1 million in investments and several hundred pre-orders through its Indiegogo campaign.

The company has also begun discussions with major couriers and e-retailers, not only in the U.S., but also in Canada, Korea, and Turkey, to form potential partnerships. Jiang hopes that this product will become the norm for e-commerce in the future.

Says Jiang, “My vision is that uCella will be outside every house in the U.S and will become an essential package platform in the worldwide e-commerce ecosystem.”

Honestly, I do not understand that. Why can't they release the decision on the decision date and then call those who got accepted? It is stressful as is, let alone having to stare at your phone, refresh gmatclub/your application page/livewire etc for the next 72 hours or so.
