UCB MFE UCB MFE Admission Results Discussion

[jamesthu]

I had the first interview about 3weeks ago and just got an invitation to the second interview with Stefanie Montevirgen and Christina Henri. What do they usually ask in the second interview?Are they going to ask me techincal questions? Please share anything about this.

 

[vaibhav]

I think it is not going to be technical. But this is just my guess based on my experience, still I will suggest be prepared to defend whatever you have written in your CV. All the best.

Good luck with your interview!

May I ask did you receive the invitation today? I had my first round on April 13, but haven't heard anything ever since..

 

[jamesthu]

Thank you. I received the invitation last Friday.

Stefanie and Christina?...In all likelihood, it wont be technical. Who did you interview with for the round 1?

Thank you. That's good to know. An Indian student Shivesh Gupta interviewed me for round 1.

Could you please tell me what the first interview is all about?

The first interview is techinical. Read heard on the street and the book with green cover. What's your major? The interviewer will ask questions based on your background and pick up the questions from books.

When is your interview?

 

[jamesthu]

about 3 month ago.

 

[Oporichito]

Generally who conducts the first round of interview? Always current students?

 

[Oporichito]

How important are the interviews? Also, how much do they take to communicate the outcomes? Anyone heard from them for 3rd round?

 

[murgichor]

How about a closed Facebook/Quantnet group for all the admitted students? We can introduce ourselves, plan and discuss the admit conditions and preparations needed to make the move to Berkeley. It would also provide a good opportunity to network with fellow students before the program starts.

 

[Apoorv]

Sure!

 

[murgichor]

Hi guys, I have created a google group for the admitted students. The link is given below. This will be a closed group, with access granted based on request.

They (the program office) should be providing a facebook group for you all in time.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if there is any other HOLD/WAITLISTED candidate on MFE Berkeley Program for 14-15 session ? Do they have any updates from the program ?

Thanks,

Hi Everyone!

Does anybody applying to UCB MFE in the 4th round heard something from the admisions team about a final decision? I already had my technical interview 3 weeks ago and my status is still Under Review.

Thanks in advance for your comments!

 

[DavidKSJ]

According to the tracker, somebody got an admission from UCB MFE yesterday. I am still waiting on my result.

@Ramiro Jaramillo
Did you check the Tracker and see the status of those applying to round 4? While there, you may want to add your timelines there as well.
Tks
