Put on a waitlist with a list of courses to complete, does anyone know how good are the chances of acceptance if we finish these courses

Tell them your progress on completing the checklist, and you will receive feedback.

Hey, I received my admit today. Can anyone share the WhatsApp group link for Spring 2025 Intake students?

got a mail yesterday mentioning that they are going ahead with the admission, on condition of an interview. What are some Frequently Asked Questions for the MFE interview? my profile is one of a software engineer, with a little financial exposure.

It will depend on who interviews you. It can be technical if an alumni interviews you. Otherwise, it will be behavior (why UCB MFE, career goals, etc).
Make sure to go over your resume well and can answer anything you put on it.

Unsure if the latest review posted today referred to the new program director. No announcement has been made so lot of guessing.

This is not referring to the new program director. New program director seems great so far, has a great background in the industry, and I assume they will make some public announcement on it soon. We met the new director for the first time this week. I think the new incoming batch will be in much better hands with the new executive director, versus our time with virtually no director or support at all haha.

In this review, the mention in this review about how someone was just hired I believe is referring to a new career service person that was also recently hired (not our new director).
