Does anyone know whether Haas informs students that Re Vera has completed the Back Ground check?

I called. They don't.

No news is good news.

See y'all in August!

Its been four weeks since I initiated the BG check but they haven't contacted my second recommender. I wonder why they don't inform students of the BG check. Other schools do check it off from the student's checklist.

Received the news yesterday night, can't wait for August!

Do you guys know what happens during the Week at Haas, on the 25th of April? Is it mandatory?

Not mandatory - but so much fun. I'd highly recommend going if you can, it's a great opportunity to meet a ton of future classmates and maybe even get a jump on the housing search.

I got the call two weeks ago -- CGSM applicant -- and received the detailed admit email about 24hrs later.


Reading this thread and it JUST HIT ME...I got into Haas. Holy hell.

Same here, thorin3. Still getting used to the idea... I received the e-mail just yesterday (assuming it's the same content, it opens with a welcome message from the Dean).

nnishmin, I strongly encourage you to browse around the website that opens when you watch the Dean's video, there is a lot of information about the program there, including the scholarship deadlines.

Hi everyone - I was accepted after applying to the second round but my online application form still says 'The last application round has passed. Applications are now closed' and when I click on 'status report' I get the following message 'Your application for admission to the Berkeley Full-time MBA Program is under review by the Admissions Committee. You will be contacted at the decision deadline to see your final admissions decision.'.

Is it the same for you? Just wondering why I still can't pay my deposit.

Thanks

Call the admissions office and talk to someone.

I'm Consortium Rd. 2 and I had the same issue so I called admissions and found it was because they didn't have official transcripts. Once I sent those, it was all cleared up.

Same here, some transcripts were missing and the application status was the same as yours.

Anyone know if there is a correlation between financial aid and accepting your offer? I'm holding out on accepting because I have a feeling that they look at the acceptance info when deciding scholarships (for the essay ones). If someone already accepted the offer seems like there is less incentive for Haas to offer them $$$.

Anyone else holding out even though they are sure that they will enroll?

Also, for R1 did they release the decisions on the date posted or did they release the info early? Waiting until the 27th is killing me :(

Anyone from round 1 not hear anything for a while? I feel like it has been a long time without a peep!
