UCB MFE UCB MFE Admission Discussion

I am also in the same situation. They have asked me to retake gre/gmat, complete all preprogram courses and read books. I asked for a waiver but they simply said the ad com wants you to complete all the preprogram courses. Not sure how it would be possible to retake my gre and complete all preprogram courses along with the demanding job. Also, I have my cfa lvl 2 in June.

I have not registered for the preprogram courses yet and I am still not convinced to spend so much money. Given the level of commitment, I do not feel I would be able to perform well in each activity. And if I dont they will anyways reject me :)

on Dec. 14th, I accept the waitlist offer from UCB, their email recommends that I should take their precourses, read some books and they will re-interview me in the late Jan, 2014.
Does any body also on the waitlist? Do you hear from UCB?

I was asked to do the same. They said they'll have me interviewed in late Jan and will get back to me about it in a week's time or so. Did not have an interview before. Was waitlisted on 13th.

Did anyone register for the pre-MFE program courses ? I wanted to know if the lecture notes are downloadable since if I dont make it, I at least have the notes to refer to later on if and when I pursue my MFE elsewhere.

Just after I post this thread, UCB sent me an email and asked me to update what I have done. Hi, guys, where are you from? Do you think we can have a talk about our application and cowork to prepare something like the courses, Do you have any IM like QQ or skype? Click on my left portrait to contect me, and we can have a nice talk. These waiting days are really suffering.

Any updates! Have they rolled out any offer. I guess, ad com told to all waitlisted candidates that they will schedule an interview in the last week of Jan. Has anyone got interview call!
 
  • moretodo has no tracker for this program.
I believe the interviews have been postponed to early to mid February or perhaps they've started interviewing and will be doing so till mid Feb.

What is the source of your information? Have you called them? Mid Feb is way too late

Hi, I had a skype interview two weeks ago with a Berkeley MFE current student. But I have not heard anything back yet. Has anyone here received a second interview from them? Thank you

I had my second round of interview this week but haven't heard back yet.

Anybody else got interview call ?
