Re: Calling all Berkeley Haas Admits: (2018 Intake) Class of 2020! [#permalink]
I'm applying to scholarships of Haas, but do I need to tell the financial aid office that I've already got a scholarship in my country? And how?

On their websites, they say
https://www.haas.berkeley.edu/finaid/terms.html
Quote:
Immediately email the Haas Financial Aid Office of any change in financial circumstances which involves the receipt of outside aid for educational expenses in excess of $15,000 such as company sponsorship, an external scholarship, or VA Benefits. Outside aid not already reported in your scholarship application that exceeds the $15,000 threshold may impact your Haas Scholarship.

However, I got an scholarship before I was admitted, so it's not a change in financial circumstances.
Also, I'm not sure how I can report my financial circumstances... There isn't any place that I can mention my local scholarship besides the essay.

Hi mosat ,

If you are applying for need-based scholarship (Berkeley MBA Grant), there is a section where you should mention additional resources: "Financial support from other resources (outside scholarships, gifts, family support)". You can state the amount there and elaborate in the essay section in the end.

Hope it helps!

Hi BO10
Aha, thanks a lot for your information!
I only apply for merit based scholarships, so I guess I don't need to inform Haas of my circumstances.

Does anyone know when merit scholarship decisions will be released tomorrow? Or when they were released in the past?

Pretty happy - I got a merit based scholarship. Probably means I will go to Haas (as opposed to the other school). Anyone else?

Can we expect an admission package from the school?

Hi! Anyone still waiting for the interview invitation (R2)? I have no news yet and it is just 10 days for the final decision.

Has any of you received any official document/admission package by regular mail?

Thanks
