Does anyone get UCB interview invitation? Will the interview only have technical questions?

I got an invitation yesterday and did the interview today. I was asked to talk a little bit about my background and asked 3-4 technical questions. The interview was conducted by a current student who, luckily, was very nice.

Congrats! Have u made it to the second round? Normally there is going to be at least 2 rounds of interviews before an applicant is finally admitted.

Thanks. I'm still hoping to hear back about the second round of interview. Did you also apply?

My interview last week was exactly the same as yours. Several general background questions, some technical questions, a nice interviewer, and a 1-day-only preparation.

Yeah, same as the post above.

Yeah, same as the post above.

What kind of tech question did they ask? I am going to have an interview tomorrow. It's more about math or finance?

 

[Lyn Huang]

They'll ask according to your background.

One of current MFE students interviewed me. There were questions related to math, finance(option, future), economics and one logic question.

The interviewer may also ask you to elaborate on the work experience. Questions vary a lot, making it difficult to prepare.

Hi guys,

I did my interview this passed Thursday. As previous members mentioned, it depends a lot on your background. There were 3 parts to it. First you are asked to elaborate more on your background/resume then a few technical questions and brain teasers and finally you are given a chance to ask any questions that you might have.

Has anyone heard back from UCB after their first interview yet ?

Has anyone else heard anything? Are they planning to send more interview invites,with 2 weeks to go before the results are out.

Is interview a definite 1st step to get accepted in the program?
