Are the dates someone listed earlier the correct deposit dates? R3 was due May 1 and R4 is due May 29?

Just got the email below:

Dear XXXXXX,

The Berkeley MBA Admissions Committee has begun reviewing the waitlist. We have made a number of offers of admission from the waitlist, and we have released many waitlisted candidates whose applications will not remain in consideration. The committee continues to be impressed with your many accomplishments, and would like to keep your application on the waitlist and under consideration at this time.

The fact that your application remains open and active is a positive sign of the committee's continued interest in you. We are currently awaiting decisions from our admits who still have offers outstanding and will continue to review all waitlisted candidates on an ongoing basis. As such, if you have any additional information you wish reviewed, please provide these materials as soon as possible. We will send out a general status update again in mid-June.

If you have already made other plans and are no longer interested in remaining on the waitlist, please notify us by replying to this e-mail.

Again, please accept our sincere gratitude for the patience you have shown throughout this process. We greatly appreciate your interest in our program.

With warm regards,

--- The Berkeley MBA Admissions Team

I've paid the deposit on Tuck anyway,...just wanted to see if I could get a Haas admit. i'll ask them to withdraw me from the waitlist. Good luck to anyone still waiting.

Good luck at Tuck, it's a great business school as well. What round did you apply? did you submit any other materials while on the waitlist?

I applied R3,...got wait-listed without interview. Took the interview and blew it outta the park,..to the extent that the interviewer told me flat out that he'd highly recommend me. Submitted an extra essay addressing "Why Haas",..I felt it was a very strong essay. Frankly, between the interview and the additional essay I think I just about maximized my chances of getting in off the wait-list. Of course this was all before I got into Tuck, but my curiosity about the Haas result got the better of me,.... which is why I didn't withdraw. Best of luck friend.

From another board I read a message posted by a R2 waitlister who was accepted last Tuesday (May 22). They said their deposit was due Wednesday, May 30. With R4ers having their deposit (supposedly) due today, I am making an assumption that they're clearing the deck with R1 and R2 waitlisters, waiting for their deposits to get a gauge on their class, and (hopefully) reaching out to the R3 waitlisters after Wednesday.

Anyone have any thoughts?
