Calling Berkeley-Haas Fall 2008 Applicants!

Not sure how I missed this thread but congratulations to all admits!
kryzak, 1/2 tuition scholarship at Haas? Holy crap! So happy for ya~! You totally deserve it.
I guess it's a bye-bye Kellogg either way, ha?

Da Da Ding! Here . This ends my application season. Overall, I am happy! I got into my first choice, Ross, and with $20K per year to boot. No complaints.

Ding ding ding here! Congrats to admits and waitlists!

congratulations Kryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.. wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..

and gl to all who are on waitlist.. I am sure something good will turn out!

Well just got into the office and had an email waiting for me. Waitlisted after an interview...obviously I was hoping for an acceptance but better than a ding. I certainly will continue to express my interest in the program. Guess it's time to start calling back up recommenders. Any recommended posts on getting off the waitlist?? Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear.

sorry to hear about the dings...

I'll see what I can find out about W/L (I know a couple guys who got W/L last year and got in) to help y'all out.

clobo, $20K a year is more than my scholarship offer, so you're very well off at Ross!

Congrats to Kry and the other admits!!!

It feels good, doesn't it???

WL w/o interview for me

I'm wondering if I should take a place on the waitlist, knowing I have a place at Sloan.

The Sloan vs. Haas debate is very very tough.

Haha. Remember waaaay back in the thread when I said you must be a douchebag if you get an interview invite and don't get into Cal? Call me a douchebag

The good thing is now I don't have to make a decision. Hello Kellogg!!

haha, i kind of feel that way about sloan. ill see you in chicago.

MGO, yes, it does feel good.

wisepig, I would seriously consider Haas and then ask to be considered on the W/L. If you need to chat, PM me.

mba2010: They DINGED you????? How is that possible? I will be sad not seeing you at Haas next year, but I'll definitely visit Kellogg to see you and the rest of the folks... LOL about the douchebag comment (sorry for laughing about a ding, but it was pretty funny)

I'll be in town for football games

I suppose I have to change my icon now that 1) I'm not going to Haas and 2) football season is over (RILEY!)

Rejected!

A belated CONGRATS to GMATclub's celebrity of celebrities, Kryzak! Likewise, a big up to branson (who I actually know in person here in Munich - and who I intend to be drinking Tegernseer Helles with soon) and the rest of the R1 admits. For those who were dinged, it sure sounds like you've got some fantastic options in front of you. I'd wish you luck, but you're not going to need it (but good luck anyway ).

There are quite a few of us on here who got waitlisted... frankly, I'm rather ecstatic about a waitlist w/o interview as I had given up hope long ago. My career plan, as outlined in my essays, is more than a little off the beaten path. I figured if any school would appreciate what I had to say, it would be Berkeley.

@ waitlisted applicants - PM me. I think we're better off working on behalf of one another than against each other. I'm more than happy to share my strategies from here on out and would love to get some feedback from those of you in the same boat. Let's do this!

-TL

We had the beer discussion in another thread. Finally, someone is talking decent beer here.

Thanks Toploader!

mba2010: Yeah, definitely let me know when you're back in town for games once school starts. I can probably get tix or something for you (and your SO) with the Haas students if you like.

bherronp: sorry to hear about the ding man, but you do have Ross! Too bad we won't be classmates...

Toploader and others, definitely let me know how I can help you with W/L. I don't know how much access I get as an admitted student, but since the janitor's mother knows me quite well, I can ask her to snoop around for info for you guys! The goal is to get as many GMATClubbers in as possible! (and form a "West Coast Posse" to rival the Chi-Town one )
