Haas PT Application for Fall 2011 is up!

Question

Who else has already gotten started? :-D

pranrasvij · Answer

wow... too early for me.... prob R2

thanks for headsup

Sailorette · Answer

You're welcome! I'm in a bit of a unique position, as I need admissions decisions ASAP so I can tell my employer where I wish to move for school. I'm currently on a rotation overseas, and the company has promised to try and position me near one of the programs I get accepted to. Throw my husband (who will need to job search in our new city) into the mix and the sooner I can solidify plans for Fall 2011, the better!

Good luck to you in your app, Pranrasvij!

i am interested in Berkeley-Columbia programs. Please let me know number of years of your work experience.

Sailorette · Answer

Hi willneverquit,

I don't have nearly enough experience to qualify for the joint EMBA program with Columbia and am just targeting the weeknight PT program at Haas. Upon (hopeful) matriculation I would have just over 5 years of full-time work experience. Graduated from undergrad in 2006.

Per your profile, you have 10 years experience, so it sounds like you're a great fit for the EMBA! Best of luck with your app!

Sailorette, Thank you and good luck with your part-time at Haas.

I attended the information session held in sanfrancisco this week. It was packed. I think there will be lots of people applying in R1. FYI. I could not get sponsorship letter from my employer for Berkeley-Columbia program, hence I will be applying for EWMBA.

willneverquit · Answer

R1 deadline is 11/3. I completed TOEFL last Saturday and hoping that I can get everything done by 11/3. Did anyone apply?

Sailorette · Answer

My application is just waiting on my second reference to be complete! I've been anxiously checking to see if the status has changed

willneverquit · Answer

I received both of my recommendations. Will review the application one final time before submitting tomorrow. Do keep me posted if you hear anything about interview.

willneverquit · Answer

I submitted it now.

Sailorette · Answer

Congrats on the submit!

My second reviewer waited until just five hours before the deadline... I was getting worried. Status on mine is still just 'received'. I'll post an update as soon as it changes to 'Complete'.

willneverquit · Answer

Hey great! mine is received as well for now. It looks like it is only you and me who have applied. Why is that there is not much discussion in this thread?

willneverquit · Answer

I got my TOEFL scores. I am disappointed that I only managed to score 106. R-26;L-25;S-27;W-28.
80% range is 107 - 117. Is it going to hurt my chances?

Sailorette · Answer

Hmm... honestly, I know very little about how TOEFL is considered in the application process. What was your AWA score?

I feel like the adcomm will get a very good understanding of your writing abilities via the application, and your listening comprehension/spoken abilities during the interview, so I'm not sure it's a dealbreaker. Especially since you are right on the edge of that 80% range, and the rest of your profile is great!

Sailorette · Answer

Quick status update- got an email from adcommm last week that needed me to also mail in my undergrad transcripts... the official one I uploaded had some issue. I had that overnighted, and received confirmation that Haas received it. My status currently shows as 'application under review'.

Anyone else have any updates?

Anyone else have any updates?

willneverquit · Answer

Great! Mine is incomplete. They have not received my TOEFL scores yet. My paper scores reached my home on Friday. Hopefully, it would have reached them today.

Good luck.

willneverquit · Answer

My status is now incomplete, reviewable.

willneverquit · Answer

Sailorette, did you hear anything about your application? some applicants got interview invites.

Sailorette · Answer

Yep, I also got an interview invite overnight (my time, it's the morning of 12/1 here, so it came during the day on 11/30 in the States). Unfortunately they only offer the option to interview locally by 12/14, and I don't think I can make it back to the U.S. by then. I sent an email to the AdComm member who issued the invitation requesting a phone interview or local alumnus option... hopefully they can be flexible with me!

I take it you did not get an invite yesterday? Any other EMBA folks get them, or was it just the part-timers?
