Haas Berkeley 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Damn that sounds like a stressful night! I'm glad you made it in under the wire!

Any part time students in here? I applied in R1 part time and interviewed in early December. Im so anxiously waiting for a decision- which i think is around Feb 14th.
Did full time students start hearing the week of the deadline or just 2-3 days before? I assume- admit is usually conveyed with a call and ding or waitlist through email alert?

Two months from today, March 20th.

Have any R2 applicants received interview invites yet? Neither me nor any of my friends who applied R2 have heard anything.

Hi guys,

If you have already lost any hopes and got dings at all schools you applied to, you are welcomed to visit this thread the-2011-2012-zero-admit-club-126296.html and share your profiles and experiences.

nothing yet either!

I received my interview invitation on Jan 17th. My interview is this week. I applied in R2.
I was rather surprised to see that email because my recommendations were not even in at that time, and i took my second GMAT on 14th.

My overall application is decent but GMAT score is relatively low for Haas, so keeping my fingers crossed.....and praying.

I am R2 and was invited 1/13. I'm going to Super Saturday on Feb. 4th. There are a few reports of invites on Beat the GMAT.

Nothing here either...only that my app is under review.

No news yet.

Can someone that interviewed in round 1 (or that has in round 2) share some insight into the interview at Haas? Is it straightforward? What types of questions are asked? Etc...?

I interviewed with the head of IB for a large commercial bank. He had interviewed a friend of mine last year (who is currently at Haas) and another friend a few years ago (who went to Haas as well). He kept a poker face all along the interview, and I didn't think I did very well. The interview was mostly a discussion on how I deal with things (an annoying colleague, leading people, etc.), my career so far and my future plans.

Make sure you have your story straight, a good number of situations covering most questions (tell me a time when you xxx) and ask a few smart questions in the end (a few a like: "what was the most surprising/least expected thing about haas you found out after you got in", "today, xx years after you left haas, what do you thing is the deepest impact haas had in you", "the recent crisis made a lot of people question bschool, how do you think haas prepares people to current challenges, such as ethics, global, etc.").

Today is interview day for me. Any last minute recommendations?

I wish you the very best and believe in yourself!

Was anyone accepted in R1 offered a scholarship? Last year many were accepted with $, but this year I haven't seen any...

i was thinking the same. haven't heard of any scholarships offered straight up. i called financial aid and they said that scholarships were awarded, so i guess we'll have to take their word for it

Just got my interview invitation!!! So excited! People going to Super Saturday, were you invited in the e-mail or was it something you eleceted from the on-campus choice? I'm in LA, so think I'm going to do off-campus anyway, but just wanted to know.

And for everyone else, here are my stats: Profile: M / 700 / 3.2 at a top 25 school, Accounting major / 5y WE (3 years in audit, 2 years in Consulting, all at Big 4)

Thanks!
