Any Indian applicants who received interview invites yet?

Haven’t seen any on clearadmit which is weird to be honest. Posted from my mobile device

Anyone else still waiting to hear back? Per their FAQs, they mention interview invites will be sent up to 4 weeks after the deadline. This has now passed and I'm deeply nervous this equals a ding for me. Anyone have thoughts on their timeline?

I am waiting. I think the invites will be sent till a few days before the decision date.

Haas has very few indians in class and in case they were offered deferrals, chances would be even slimmer for those this year. Havent seen/heard of any indian getting an invite from Haas this year (solely based on clearadmit livewire) Already starting to lose hope. Posted from my mobile device

Agreed. Chances are very slim. Purely from data available, international candidates made up 100-110 (35-39%) of Class of 2020 and Class of 2021, respectively. However, international candidates were down to ~70 (~21%) in Class of 2022. Thus, we can expect at least 30-40 international seats already filled for Class of 2023, unless any of them are applying to other schools and give up their seat here. That said, I know of at least 1 Indian who has joined Haas in Berkeley this year, maybe I will try and get more info from him. Btw, I think, some Indians have received interview invites, based on 1 entry each in Decision Tracker and Haas chat room.

Email w/ option to do Skype or prerecorded response. Opted for live Skype. Time slot/geographic location shown across roughly a week of selection options. Selection prompts you to confirm platform w/ interviewer (in my case an alum was matched).

True. In one of the virtual chats, this very issue was bought up. However, the adcom were very clear that deferrals won't affect the current admissions process to a great extent. In addition, I received an additional update a couple of days ago stating that they're still reviewing the applications and that interviews can be sent at any point up to the deadline. I'm guessing it might be difficult for them to transition completely online and match with interviewers/find slots. I hope this helps

While I dont mean to dampen your spirit, it’s obvious that they wont say it openly that they dont have seats left in class. Why would they want to lose out on application money . Posted from my mobile device

Oh, no, not at all!! I could be wrong, its just that I assumed the case to be so because Haas's website mentions that deferrals were case-specific and was not common.
