I didn't use the supplemental essay part but for the short answer section I used at most a couple hundred words to elaborate on my undergrad work experiences and ECs.

Basically used resume style points to include all of the info I couldn't fit on my actual resume. Definitely not as detailed as my essay stories.

How abouT you?

Based on the previous Haas threads it looks like people start to receive emails about their profiles going 'Under Review' in late October. Interviews begin rolling out shortly after.

I was in your shoes last year, and was fortunate to make it through Haas. I am here as a help to prospective GC-Haas folks.

If anyone would like to speak with any specific club, please feel free to email me @ bullionstacker@gmail.com and I will try to connect you with specific people. I can answer questions about Technology and Consulting.

Also, if you want to get a perspective on your draft essays, I could try to do it for you. I may be a bit delayed in my response given the first year schedule at Haas :shock:

I have just received an email stating that they are now preparing my file for review and that they will contact me in the next moth in case the file lacks something. The email said that interview invitations will start going out in November.

For international applicants, where did you get an official translation of your degree ? Did you use any professional services online ?

Thanks

Yes I got my email too!

I wonder if there is there a correlation between when the 'preparing file for review' email goes out and interviews. :wink:

Hello,

I just received an email from a member of the admissions committee informing me that my file is ready for review by the admissions committee.

My online status has also changed to "Application under review" from "Submitted".

Anybody else who has received the same message and status update? Does the timing mean anything?

Regards!

I guess everyone has received this mail. I don't think it reflects anything positive. Sad But True. :(

I seem to have received a different email then. The one I got does not even mention November. It just says that my file is ready for review. Are there two types of emails floating???
