Berkeley Haas at MBA Spotlight 2026: Key Takeaways
APPLICATION & ADMISSIONS
Maria Martinez Madrigal, Associate Director of Full-Time MBA Admissions at UC Berkeley Haas, provided insights into the application process. Applicants are evaluated holistically across academics, professional experience, and personal attributes. The program requires two professional letters of recommendation, ideally from supervisors. A unique feature of the application is a video essay prompt asking, "What makes you feel alive and why?" Applicants are encouraged to be authentic and reflective.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Haas is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a hub for innovation and technology, providing students with access to a vast network of industry leaders and opportunities. The program emphasizes experiential learning through initiatives like Cleantech to Market and the Sustainable Investment Fund. Haas offers multiple MBA formats: full-time, evening and weekend, flex, and an MBA for executives, all sharing the same curriculum but differing in structure.
CULTURE & VALUES
Haas is distinguished by its defining leadership principles: Questioning the status quo, confidence without attitude, student always, and beyond yourself. These principles are deeply embedded in the community and culture, influencing both the academic and social environment.
CAREERS & OUTCOMES
Haas boasts the third-highest lifetime earnings among business schools, with 91% of graduates accepting job offers within six months. The alumni network is particularly active on the West Coast, providing robust support and networking opportunities.
NOTABLE Q&A
Applicants were advised to add context to their academic records, especially if their GPA does not reflect their potential. The program is not solely tech-focused, despite its location, offering strong opportunities in fields like social impact and real estate. The alumni network is highly active, particularly in the Bay Area, supporting students and graduates extensively.
ADVICE FROM THE SESSION
Applicants should focus on authenticity and alignment with Haas's values. Engaging with the Haas community through events and networking is encouraged to understand the culture and opportunities better.
UPDATE FROM DAY 2 SESSION (JUN 11, AMY BARTOW)
• NO GMAT/GRE waiver offered - test required from everyone
• New graduate certificate in AI; faculty integrating AI across all courses
• Class size ~280; curriculum is 40% core / 60% electives
• Flex MBA can be completed online - suitable for some international students
• Average alumni salary 3 years post-graduation: $220,000+; 90%+ employed within six months
• Sustainability and social impact are understated strengths (Skydeck and eHub support entrepreneurship)

In a recent info session, an adcom member mentioned internally they use superscoring (and have been for a long time) but officially they are not taking into consideration. Better reach out to [email protected] to confirm and let us know as well.
Good luck!!
