UCB MFE UC Berkeley MFE Application Discussion

[vaibhavpednekar]

Hi,

I applied on 22nd June. I have not received any updates yet.

I have a feeling that we should hear from them by next Friday.

Any updates?

 

[vaibhavpednekar]

Not yet

 

[amsterdamer]

Any idea if everyone is invited for a first/ second round interview or are people filtered at application level as well?

(I apologies for lack of knowledge already!)

 

[vaibhavpednekar]

I do not think that every one is interviewed. May be just 50% (<-- not sure of the exact number)

50% isn't bad at all,!

Pure speculation ^

 

[vaibhavpednekar]

Yeah, that number (50%) is not accurate. Just a guess.

I guess that's what we'd keep on doing until 18/08 :|

Going by the timeline of previous round interviews mentioned on the tracker, it seems like folks with good enough profiles have received an invite for first technical interview within a month after the application deadline.

It's close to a month since deadline of round 3. Did anyone hear back from them on the interview for this round? Guys, please post if one has updates, it will help to reduce my anxiety.

 

[amsterdamer]

one more question, are the communications usually made on Fridays?

 

[vaibhavpednekar]

I had my interview today. I think you all can expect a mail from them soon.

What kind of heads up do they usually give?

That's great news!

How did your technical interview go ? I've heard that if one clears this interview, then you stand a great chance to secure the admission.
