I am studying from the UCB online class posted online on this forum. I will probably go for a shot at waiver exam. If I get in, I might take the workshop

how would it make sense without getting an admission offer first?

I know what you mean. However, I have an offer from UC Davis so anyhow it will help to cover my waiver reqs. Although I am hoping it gets used at Haas

In case one doesn't get in, it still helps if he/she reapplies the following year. Gosh! I don't even want to think about reapplying - so much time has gone into this already. May be I am better off achieving whatever I want to achieve without an MBA!

and without spending over $120k in getting it! but i know for sure that if Haas calls any of us today and asks for a full fee payment upon admission... none of us will turn down the offer... :D

Say what ever guys, its a little disturbing to see some getting that email and some not getting it. I mean, it cant be an accident.

calculas... please don't worry too much... there are a few of us who haven't received it.... in any case, that email about the workshop is not an admission/rejection email to the EWMBA program... you have submitted additional material already... so don't worry about it now... the results will be out in a couple of weeks anyways... until then... as they say... "it ain't over until it's over!".. you anyways should not worry too much... u have a UCLA admit... which i know quiet a few of us don't have... so u are still in a better boat than many out here...
