This may have already been touched upon, but will Haas send any notification or update to the application if you are dinged over the next month or so? Or will applicants who get dinged only find out by NOT receiving an interview invitation? I'm beginning to get nervous like many others and am trying to determine at what point I should stop hoping for that invitation.....

Registerations for Haas webinar with MBA Prep School are now open .

My application was 'ready for review' on October 25th. The application status says 'Application Under review'. Does this mean I can expect a status update within the end of the week?? I know its not how it officially works but I was hoping to get a prediction based on the applicants who received their invites.

Anyone from Brazil has received an invite to interview?

Got my interview invite yesterday late afternoon. Submitted about a week before the deadline, got the email that my application was ready for review about 8 days ago. London, tech/start up, reapplicant (previously accepted)

Interesting this (called after previously being accepted). Good luck.

Hi, Congratulation on previously being accepted at Haas and I wish you very best for this year! I will be applying to Haas in R2. Can you please share your last year's interview experience? Thanks!

Admissions team wasn't working.

Berkeley - It seems like your page is getting a lot lesser action compared to the other top colleges. A few more interview requests might generate some more traffic!
