My status just changed from "Interview and Review" to "Application Under Review". My interview took place in November, but they just changed the status now. Any idea what this means?

For those that did R1 and have not received an interview yet, did Haas give you a date after which you would no longer be considered? Guessing on jbartuccio's question above, there's no "release" date before final decision?

The website indicates that interview invites will be extended up until the decision deadline. I am guessing that Haas specifically scheduled R2 app deadline before R1 decision deadline to allow them some flexibility to see majority of the entire applicant pool prior to making final decisions. This allows them to make better R1 decisions for admits and waitlist. Given such a small class size, this makes sense to me.

FROM Haas Admissions Blog: Beyond "Balancing": Ways to Integrate Work, Life, and the Berkeley MBA

A chess game. A juggling act. A balancing act. There are lots of ways to describe the fine art of keeping your job, home life, and studies all in sync when you’re enrolled in a part-time MBA program—and lots of strategies for doing so.

Yes, it’s challenging. But our students cite improved time management skills and razor-sharp prioritizing among the abilities they gain.

And in the end, they often find it's more about bringing areas of your life together than it is about keeping things separate and balanced.

Bridging the Classroom and the Office
One obvious advantage of the Berkeley Evening & Weekend MBA program is the shortened learning distance between work and school. Arvind Ravishunkar, a corporate strategy manager at Fairchild Semiconductor, is an example. “Being in a part-time program allows me to bridge the gap between the academic world and the real world by applying and adapting what I learn in the classroom to the workplace. That makes the lesson real for me,” he says.

Or as Nikole Thomas, retail business consultant with Chevron, notes, “When I’m in a meeting and people are talking about FIFO and LIFO, I not only know the vocabulary, I understand the concepts and can participate in the conversation. That is an immediate return on investment.”

The knowledge transfer goes the other way, too. Our Evening & Weekend students aren’t shy about bringing their work experiences into the classroom. The diversity here turns the classroom into what Jason Merideth, Nestlé USA brand manager, calls “an incubator of smart people.” He adds, “As much as I love my job, being on campus is my favorite part of the week. It’s a breath of fresh air. You get to dive deep into strategic conversations with really bright classmates who come at things from a unique perspective.”  

Family Matters
For many of our students, going through the  Evening & Weekend Berkeley MBA Program is a family affair. They’re here, in part, to make a better life for their families. As Orian Williams, sales operations analyst at Thomson Reuters says, “Getting my MBA was a real team decision with my fiancée. Our 16-month-old daughter couldn’t voice her opinion yet, but she’s showing her support by sleeping through the night!” 

We also incorporate families into the program as much as possible. Families join in for picnics, classroom visits, and other celebrations. Todd Brantley, senior commercial lender at First Republic Bank, hopes his studies set an example for his daughters, Bronwyn and Avery. “When we visited campus, Bronwyn asked me if she can come here too. 'Absolutely,' I told her, 'absolutely.'”

Flexibility and Support from the Program Office
Because your work life can be dynamic, we work with you to adapt your class schedule. Orian experienced this when he switched from weekend classes to evening when his job moved from the South Bay to San Francisco.

What some might call amenities, our students praise as lifesavers. These include the shuttle bus that ferries students from the South Bay to campus and back—and often serves as a rolling study group or an extension of a classroom discussion. On campus back-up child care services can give a student the peace of mind to pay attention class.

More Tips and Insights from Students
Other students have their own tips for making it all work in the classroom, at home and on the job, plus additional insights on the Berkeley MBA experience. You'll find more on our Evening & Weekend Student Profile page.

OMG... yes... Can't wait. Hoping the decisions start rolling out on Monday, although it seems list the past 2 years the first day is international admits only/mostly. (Which is not to my benefit as I live in NY :( ).

I interviewed yesterday and absolutely cannot wait to get the final decision next week. My interview was informal, conversational, and an hour and a half long. He asked me to walk him through my resume, explain why I want an MBA, and explain why Haas in particular. The interview confirmed everything I already know and love about Haas - the community, the ethics, the drive to change the world for the better. At the end of the interview he said he'd "do his part" in helping me to get into the program.

I'm nervous because I was invited to interview so late in the process, and I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I guess we'll find out next week. Good luck, everyone!

Amazing, good luck! I recently met a current student who told me he received an interview invite just a few days before the decision deadline, so don't be nervous.
