Hi Guys,
First of all congratulations for the admission to HAAS. I am recommended for admission in R1 as well, but I can not remember whether I have accepted the admission. My application status still shows recommended for admission, but the accept admission button is not visible anymore. Has any of you received any follow-up email listing the next steps (deposit/SIR ... etc) after you have accepted the admission?

Regards
Dipti

Hi Dipti  drsmba ,  congratulations !!! - While you wait for your next email, you may want to check out the FAQ (in case you haven't seen the latest updates).

https://www.haas.berkeley.edu/EWMBA/newadmit/faq.html

I’ve accepted my offer of admission. What happens next? 
 The next steps include paying your $1,500 non-refundable deposit* and completing the University of California Statement of Intent to Register (SIR).

*Please note, there will be an additional 2.75% fee charged for those paying their deposit by credit card. If you are charged, Haas will apply this fee towards your tuition.

Instructions for these next steps will be sent to you via email. The University is going though an exciting student information systems update, which has updated our historical process. We will provide you clear instructions in the coming weeks for these next steps.
You'll also want to connect with your classmates by attending the Welcome Reception!
There are other things you will need to do to get ready for Haas in the fall. Review the new admit checklist to ensure you are aware of all upcoming due dates and events.

Why can't I access the UC Berkeley Graduate Division's SIR link from my application status page? 
 This page will become available after UC Berkeley Graduate Division formally admits you as a student, which occurs on a rolling basis.
 
 If we do not have all of your official documents on file, we cannot enroll you in our system, and you will not be able to complete the next steps for admissions. Please call our Admissions Office with questions. Please do not contact the Graduate Division Office directly.
