UCB MFE UC Berkeley MFE Application Discussion

[catchemall]

The website mentions that the interview determines one's prerequisite readiness and what pre-program courses one has to do. Apparently, it does not affect the admission decision. Is this, in reality, actually true? I am just curious.

 

[cooldude]

I think interviews are more important in round 4 than in any other round since there is less time left for preparation for the course. They might be expecting round 4 applicants to be well versed in all prerequisites, so interviews are the opportunities for applicants to showcase their preparation. Though I'm not sure, just guessing.

 

[cooldude]

btw how was your interview @catchemall ? did you hear back after your first interview?

 

[catchemall]

Honestly, not one of my better interviews. Haven't heard back.

 

[Aniruddha Dutta]

Anyone heard back after Round 4 interviews?? I was interviewed on the 13th of October and still waiting to hear back from them.

Hi there! I just got my interview invitation yesterday and it is scheduled next week. So I think it will take some time for the results to come. Rest assured and wish us all the best!

has anybody's application status changed? mine still shows submitted even after interview.

 

[faye.w]

same here...nothing changed...

 

[faye.w]

btw, I believe there is at least one more person applying but has not reported on the tracker. Yesterday my interviewer said we have to stop now cos there is another person behind me:P

 

[cooldude]

I'm sure there are many more who haven't reported on tracker :p . Btw how did your interview go?

not very well...guess i can move on to other applications now lol

 

[Qijun]

Same. Mine still shows submitted since interview a weekend ago. Sent email to the admission office and they said they were currently reviewing my files

 

[catchemall]

@cooldude were you told in your interview specifically that you will hear from them again in a couple of weeks? ( I was told this and I took 'couple' quite literally)

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Just a reminder for anyone who hasn't added their UCB MFE timeline as well as other program timelines to our Tracker. This is hugely helpful to everyone tracking their own application.

As far as I remember my interviewer didn't mention anything about the expected time for result. But I think we might hear soon. Did you get the promotional email in Sept saying they will give the result in 4 to 6 weeks if you apply between 12th to 21st Sept.

 

[catchemall]

Yep, I applied in that period. I got a promotional email today too to join the pre-program courses. But I am guessing they send that to all applicants eventually.

 

[cooldude]

i didn't get any email today... may be its a positive sign for you.

 

[lordanubis]

Has anyone else got that email? I, for one, did not.

 

[Qijun]

I got the email, but weirdly it was sent to my another email which is not the one I used for application... probably just an ad for all who have an account at UCB Extension. Purely guess though
