Hi All,

I’ve just been offered a conditional acceptance into the UCB MFE program for spring 2025

Context: I was waitlist in early March without interview and nearly completed my checklist items except for one and pre program courses.
Received an alumni interview in early August and a second interview with Diane at the end of August.

Edit: the WhatsApp group link seems to have expired. Would much appreciate it if someone could send me an updated one. Thanks in advance!

Do all courses on Preparation Checklist have to be completed? What happens if you don't meet the deadline?

Hello all, I just had a quick question. I just received an e-mail from UC Berkeley about their MFE program encouraging me to apply. I just got my Bachelor's degree in mathematics from a smaller university, but my GPA isn't exactly the greatest (2.75). But I did score a perfect 800 on the quantitatiive section of the GRE. I was just wondering if this is a common occurance for them to send e-mails just to collect an easy $200 on the application fees or if there is some actual interest on their part. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I received a waitlist decision yesterday. But the list of courses in preparation seems a little absurd to me. Is it required to take all of them including the pre-program courses for getting an admission?
