UCB MFE UCB MFE Admission Results Discussion

In R3, most people were informed of their admits atleast 2 weeks in advance of the deadline

Yep! If they don't email us by today I think it would be a rejection email on 1st Dec.

I don’t believe they will post decisions on 12.1 even it’s a rejection lol

It should come on the website i believe even if they don't mail us the decisions. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to not inform us at all, right?

Would be devastating to log in and see a rejection

Yes, but the whole process for round 4 this year is weird enough. Like 2 weeks after the round 4 ddl, they send me an email saying that the application can still be sent before 11.5, kind of an ad. I just thought there must be some room for the last round. But no one has received any feedback after interview, which makes me wonder if applicants for round 4 are actually not considered and the interviews were just a kind gesture.

I too suspect that they just interviewed to merely skim through the apps.

Yes they were inviting late applications as well. Infact on the website, I've read that only those documents received post 1st December wont be considered at all, so they obviously have a lot on their plate for sure. I thought my interview went fairly well :/

I think that majority of the round4 candidates are either gonna get a reject or be put on waitlist which I feel will invite more waiting time. Also, I read on one quantnet thread that waitlisted candidates have a fierce competition for very few spots.

Yea there are very limited candidates waitlisted. I dont think its more than 5 or 6. Waitlist would be as good as hoping that some admit changes his/her mind about admission or isn't able to generate funds for admission etc. Its a long shot (as good as a reject).

Anyone applied for UCB MFE during Round 4? The application processing timeline for R4 tends to be so weird, let's share our progress here.

Hey, did you apply for r4 last year by any chance?

Totally annoyed Even the application fee was considerable amount and then they do this:/
