Hey Guys!

Yes -- I have applied from India. I dont know whether that changed the equation and asked for a degree hard copy.

I fedexed the original from India. Is this uncommon ? Did any of you have to ship your original degree certificate ?


For some reason, they require official transcripts when making admission decisions. Luckily US based universities can easily do this via student clearing house.

Any responses in for R1 applicants?


Funny that you mentioned this - I had to call Anderson's admissions team today because I got an offer from another school, with the deposit due 3/23, but I am still awaiting decisions from Haas and Anderson.

I was told that right now, they still haven't made any selections at all outside of the no brainers (top or bottom 1%) and that even if someone got in, they would notify people a lot closer to the 3/29 decision date, but not much earlier.


In a similar situation. Were they able to promise you an earlier notification in any way?

Sorry I missed this! Not really. One thing I will say is it seemed like if you were in that position, if you let them know, you may know earlier than 3/29 but not by much. It makes sense though when you consider that for FEMBA, literally everyone who applied got a chance to interview. With there being only like 13 cancellations or no shows (overheard them talking while waiting for my interview), they have way more applications to go through in a shorter amount of time. For perspective, Haas has 3 rounds (and actually opened up a 4th round smh), but for people who applied in round 2 (similar to FEMBA's round 1 deadline), they don't get back to them until 4/6. For comparison, FEMBA is getting back to people a full week earlier with significantly more data/applications to comb through.
