It went OK I think, thanks for asking. Basically it was a half hour long technical interview covering basic probability, finance, regression, time series analysis and programming. It was very relaxed in the sense that the interviewer made sure I would only answer the questions and topics I felt comfortable answering. Concerning the programming part, the interviewer first asked me about my proficiency in all my languages and then proceeded to focus on my strongest one (python).

Hey, it's great to know that you interview went well! I was just wondering how important time series is for the application to UCB MFE since the list of prerequisite courses on the Berkeley MFE website doesn't enforce knowing this. Good luck on hearing back on your application!

Hi, I just received the hold status and long pre checklist without an interview just a couple of days after I submitted my application. Does this mean the rejection?

Hi Garorod, did you get admission recently? My application has been pending for a long time and I really hope to hear if Berkeley will update recently.

 

[Garorod]

Hi Wenkai Hu, actually I received it at the end of April.

Not yet. I think there is little chance.

Same here, I also received a long list even though I had previously sent certificates for many of the items (more than 80% of the items on the list). It seems to me as an indirect way of rejection. I will upload the certificates again and list the plans to finish the remaining requirements before the start of the program and let you know how it goes.

Does Berkeley ever send a reject status?

I haven't seen the rejection yet. But there is little hope, I guess. It is 8/4 already.

I recently received an application status which says that the committee officer will be contacting me with the preparation for the checklist. It is so confusing. Does anyone receive the interview for round 3?

 

[Year W]

How many people are in the group so far?

 

[Finengg]

Share your Round 4 experience, application results/ interview process here

 

[Aniket Gor]

[Finengg]

Congratulations! Could you share your profile if you don’t mind?
I got a hold without guarantee. Wonder how that works..
