Has anyone received any updates to their Round 2 application? The 10th May deadline seems to have crossed but no updates yet for me.

Hi, I applied for the UCB MFE program and received the technical interview a few day ago. I think my interview was a good conversation and I just got a checklist of Pre-courses on the portal. However, I was also told I was being held for further consideration. This is the program that I think can help me, so I will try my best to finish the checklist.

However, since I am in a hold status, is there still possibility that I will get an admission decision? Or is there anyone who is in the same situation as I am?

Thanks!!!

I got a checklist later and I wonder if it is worth to spend time and effort in finishing those courses and if it will influence their decision. It also shows I will have a second interview, not sure if it is technical interview or just normal interview

By the way, I finished some Coursera courses before but I did not post them in my application, can I post them now?

Hey, I just had a similar experience... I had a good round of interview and all of a sudden a hold status with a huge list yesterday... I think the chances of conversion from hold status to admit status are pretty slim... Most of the suggested courses are pretty expensive and there is no guarantee of an admit after that....

I would suggest you to do those pre-requisite courses which will help you in your career

Have to say you are right… Never seen a case like us who will be given admission in the end… In this forum I saw a case where the applicant was held but given a interview afterwards… He was admitted though.

You are right on the course part… very expensive… good on my career but I have taken some of them(but they don’t approve it).

This is unrelated to your query but I was considering the possibility of applying to UCB. Can you please tell me a bit about your profile so that I can evaluate myself based on that?

Hi All. I submitted my UCB MFE application (05/31/2020) for round 3. When should I expect to get an interview call if my profile is shortlisted?
