Their Facebook page says by close of business. ANYONE receive a call today??? Or is hope lost?

Seems like it is pretty quiet today. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Hi all, not sure if they are sending out all updates at the same time, but I just got an email from Berkeley at 4:00pm ET with the subject line: "Berkeley MBA: Your Application Decision" Waitlisted.

Same - just got the waitlist email as well

Dinged. Status updates are available on the web. I didn't get an email I just signed into the website. Good luck to all those still waiting and congrats to those who made the cut

Rejected Really thought I had a shot. 760 GMAT! 3.8 from an Ivy! What are they looking for?

Waitlisted also. Did anyone else get waitlisted who was interviewed really late? I interviewed on 18 Mar, so I'm wondering if they just didn't have enough time to make a decision and they'll let me know soon, or if they're really throwing me into the waitlist pile just because of my late interview...

Waitlist too. I was not even interviewed?! Never thought this is possible.. Posted from my mobile device

Wait listed! I interviewed on the 22nd march. Posted from my mobile device

Any admits to other schools? What was your pitch? As you probably know, Haas has quite a small class and is more particular about your story and cultural fit and less insistent on numbers. I may be wrong, but it may in fact be THE school where your numbers mean the least among the top schools. In my case, I put considerable effort into crafting my story and making sure all aspects of my app supported it--such that even if the readers didn't find it particularly interesting, at least it would ooze credibility. Feel free to PM more details if you want to chat/get free insight.
