UCB MFE UC Berkeley MFE Application Discussion

[vaibhavpednekar]

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.

The interview went well. I beleive I gave correct answers for most of the questions apart from 2 topics to which i had no prior exposure.

Waiting eagerly for the 2nd Interview.

Are there any more updates?

One more Friday gone, any updates?

Guys, I had my interview (~ 50 mins) this week. The interview questions were mostly around my work experience, algorithms, PDE, prob&stat, brain teasers, derivatives. I believe it went well. I was able to answer most of the questions.

I am hoping to hear back from them soon. Let's see.

Hi Guys, I have my second interview tomorrow with Linda. It says it would be some group chat. What does it mean ? Has anyone got any such email from them ?

 

[vaibhavpednekar]

Got an offer from UCB yesterday. I am accepting it.

 

[TheUltimateGodfather]

Got an offer from UCB yesterday. I am accepting it.

Congrats!

I too received a verbal admit from them yesterday. Absolutely thrilled!

I am yet to receive official written offer via email from them though. I guess I will need to wait for a couple of days before reaching out to them for the written offer.

Hi, was it an alumni interview? What questions did they ask you?

 

[optionsDelta]

No response after first interview. Still under review.

 

[Mlsw]

Hi, has anyone heard back from the first interview now? Any updates? I had my first interview recently haven't heard anything yet

 

[Rohit Kaul]

No updates yet. I was wondering if they have taken any hold or wait listed students off their respective status. If that is the case, maybe they are reconsidering their applications. Hopefully, all the seats haven't been filled yet.

Hi Rohit, I`m not sure what do you mean by "taken off their respective status". Are you saying that the status would be changed to hold or rejected if one is considered not interested?

 

[Rohit Kaul]

Hi Rohit, I`m not sure what do you mean by "taken off their respective status". Are you saying that the status would be changed to hold or rejected if one is considered not interested?

Hey, so i mean there are 3 possibilities now - students who were previously kept on hold status, its possible their application may have been reopened, second is R4 students are being accepted and third possibility is that all seats have been filled and there is no room for more admits. Probability of the 3rd is low since these are rolling admissions. If we know somehow that the 1st option is happening, then are chances reduce somehow. Hence i was asking if anyone's status has changed from waitlist or hold.

 

[Rohit Kaul]

Our* chances
