Just checked. 23 members in the linkedin group, 7 of which are members of the adcom. The Facebook group is up to 22 members, but at least 2-3 of those are adcom members.

Thanks for the update packet82!

Its awfully quiet. What's happening y'all?

I went for the in-class visit yesterday. The experience was simply amazing! Its hard to put it in words... After that we got to interact with some current students too. Was a nice experience.. I did meet a few waitlisted folks yesterday... But because of the visitation/interview day, there was a big crowd of prospective students yesterday. I think they interviewed about 40-60 candidates from outside the bay area... Don't know how many applications they received for round2.. but by looking at the turnout yesterday, that number seemed a lot bigger than i was imagining... @calculas, were you there too? did we meet?

A class visit was what sealed the deal for me. Haas seems to be a much different place than a lot of other business schools. 40-60 interviews on a visitation day isn't bad considering that it looks like they've only admitted ~40 people so far. 200 seats are still up for grabs.

How is the number 40 now? I thought you had said that its around 30... maybe less...

I'm assuming only about half the admits joined the Facebook page. Posted from my mobile device

aah ok... the total intake is going to be around 65 per cohort for a total of about 260... so hopefully 220 more to go...

Hi! yes, I was there. It was a good experience. Although, I didn't do the visitation part of the program, as I was an R1 candidate, but I was able to do a class visit and the reception ofcourse. Did we meet? good question, you might be able to recognize me - let me IM you.
