Fall 2013 Main Essay Question
Please tell us about yourself and your background. The goal of this essay is to get a sense of who you are, rather than what you have achieved professionally. You may include information about your family, where you grew up, your interests, or any other people or experiences that have influenced you. (1,000 word maximum)

The ENTIRE goals essay should be 250-500 words total, not each part. Good luck!

Same here, I did the visitation day and it was a fantastic experience....even the 3 hour accounting class was so much fun. Imagining myself sitting in the room but the second guessing about my interview response is killing me. I need to find some other distractions.

I thought everyone was in the strategic brand management class on visitation day?

Funny enough, that was the class I visited back in September.

yeah it was a lotta fun....

There were 2 batches on saturday as far as i know. One batch had interviews in the morning & the other batch had class visit. They just swapped in the after noon session.

Morning class was "Game Theory". It was a lot of fun.

did you guys get the email about "Spring Data & Decisions Workshop Update‏"?

Yeah, wish I had known the details before I signed up for the Berkeley Extension course. Oh well.

$1000~

I'm not sure whether to take it or just take a course in DeAnza

I am guessing this isn't sent out to only those people who are going to be admitted in R2?

I too got an email today regarding DDW. I will try to pass waiver exam before that, I might save $1000. I am on WL

I don't think they will give away the admitted student list that easily. I think you shouldn't read between the lines.

Should have added a *wink* after my question

You can take a stats class at a local community college and save yourself roughly $800. You will, however, be challenged considerably more in the workshop, as the community college classwork only covers a little over half of the material covered in the workshop. The additional classes focused on regression analysis and a couple of other concepts, which can be useful in your future MBA courses.

I’ve been following this page for a while, but this is my first post… I’m a Round 2 Applicant, and still waiting for an interview email…. This stress is killing me! …. Does anyone know if they give interviews to all applicants?

No, they interview ~2/3 of the applicant pool.

So you can get in without an interview?
