Does Haas send out invitations roughly by location?
And has any R2 applicant from Singapore receieved interview invitation?
Checking email everyday after waking up is really nooooooooooooooo fun!!!

From Singapore and nope. No invite yet.

Just received the invite to interview! Can't be more excited. I'm from India so I thought I had lost hope but this 'location based invites' theory is beginning to slowly make more sense.

On a side note, if I "can" make it to Berkeley to interview, will it be worth it, rather than interviewing somewhere near home?

Thanks and good luck to everyone who is waiting for an interview invitation/admission decision :)

I don't think it makes any difference on the interview itself. I think it would be a little better to interview at home, with someone from the same culture as you, since you can build a connection with ease. You also build a more personal connection, since the admissions office will probably be interviewing dozens of candidates each year.

Also, I've seen that alumni want to have the biggest number of people from their home country going to the school they went, so they might over-promote you if you do well on the interview. That's just a thought and I have nothing to back that up.

On the other hand, visiting the campus can give you a very good idea of how the school works, specialy if you spend a day or two at the school before the interview.

The interview invite email doesn't mention any last date for scheduling the interview nor does the website mention any such date. What should I keep as the minimum buffer between the interview date and the decision deadline of March 1?

I was talking to the representative managing the interviews and she mentioned that there is no deadline for interview or the receipt of the documents ( transcript / degree certificate etc ). However they would like everything to be completed by Feb 27th so that they can release the results by March 1st.

Let's assume Singapore is the last location in the world that Haas sends out invitation. ;-)

Hey guys

Do we have to send Official Transcripts to Haas once we got the Interview Invite? Or only when we are admitted? I saw no mention of this in the Invite itself

Thanks

I was asked to submit an official copy but have not heard about an interview invite, and I am r3. Perhaps they did not like the copy I submitted with my app.

Thanks a lot! What you said gave me a lot to think about. I think I might just do it back in India.

You really have to be optimistic to see any odds of a R2 applicant being invited at this point..
Here, I find one in myself :roll:

Posted from my mobile device

The decision date is 3/1, but during the closing remarks at Super Saturday the AdCom said they were going to try to start rolling out decisions beginning around mid-February so people could have enough time to make arrangements to attend the admit weekend in March. I know this will drive all of us crazy with the frequent email checks! I'm going to try and just forget about this comment and look to the 3/1 date but be pleasantly surprised if I here earlier.
