Haas EWMBA Class of 2017 - Calling All Applicants

Living in East Coast. No updates, No calls so far.

Just got an email saying I am on WL. Looks like admitted people got calls yesterday. Today it is going to be WL or Denied.

Congrats to all those accepted.

Any insights from people who got WL before and what additional materials you have submitted?

Also, online status on my application is changed to Waitlist.

Got an email just now. Also online Application Status says (Waitlist).

...

First of Congrats to all those who got in.
Double congrats to those celebrating other events in life. Wish you all - all the best.

Now about me - Waitlisted again. I guess I will die waiting
From yesterday to today my productivity has been nill.. Still trying to hang in there..

@packet82 and @atHaas - Thanks for your continuous support. At this point I believe its more of adcom trying to judge the overall applicant pool rather than my own application (I am from a highly over-represented pool). After first round of WL, I already submitted additional recommendation, (promotion) update to my employment record. As atHaas mentioned my GMAT looks good for Haas. I believe what is doing me in is the number of years of experience which is less than Haas median (mine is 4.5 years). I wish I had followed my childhood dream and built a time machine by now to fix that

Anyways Question to you guys and the re-applicants on board - What are the odds like from double waitlist. Do you know anyone who still got through. Any advice as to what I can do at this point that will improve the odds.

WL as well. Just received email and online status updated as well.

waitlisted as well...my math requirement is still blank though...has anyone seen a change after their status was updated?

I'm about in the same boat as you, Bit

Just got wailisted again (applied in R1 and was waitlisted). Submitted an update to my application (promotion), but only have 4 years work experience. Had I not taken 2 years off in college I would be at 6 years and feel much more confident in my application.

WL for me as well. I think my yrs of work experience is the issue for them (just under 4 years).

Congrats to all those admitted.

@byucoug11 @orangerie - Lets build that time machine now. Necessity is the mother of all inventions

Anyways, I see a fourth round on Admissions Page. Was it there from beginning? The result date for both 3rd and 4th round is May 30 so I guess that is when we will know next, right?

Just received the email that I've been waitlisted! Congrats to everyone once again who got in!

WL as well. Since I didn't get a call yesterday, I was prepared for a rejection today, so happy to be placed on the WL!
I have to submit my deposit to Kellogg in a month and start classes end of June. Anyone know when Haas will announce the final decision if I continue with the WL?

@bit @byucoug @WL folks- Last year I was WL twice, before being rejected on the last before school started, so I know how you guys feel. Hang in there.

One thing you guys could do is to either redo one of your essays, which you think might be weak or write a new essay about a Haas principle. I had submitted an essay last year about how I exemplified a Haas principle, that was not covered in my first app or interview. During my feedback interview, the Adcom person mentioned that it had a positive impact on my app last yr (obviously not positive enough!).

If possible, have your manager write an additional letter which shows Adcom that even though you don't have much experience, you are taking on tasks which a senior person might do. That might help mitigate the lack of experience a bit.

Best of luck!

@2timesACharm: how do you re-do an essay? Is it through the online portal or did you email it to adcom?

@2timesACharm - Thanks for the inputs. You mean an additional letter other than the original submitted online.
Also, redo an essay meaning the new one will substitute the original one or would it be in addition to original one?

Admit decision is out on Hass website (West coast). Check it out
