UCB MFE UCB MFE Admission Discussion

i am in the same boat @SungHwan
i am not very optimistic to be honest.. perhaps they are deciding whether to put us on hold or on a waitlist.. thats my two cents on the topic.. unless someone knows anything different

 

[Baixue]

Still under review and also received the email regarding late admission results.

 

[whatsisthename]

@Baixue are you referring to the mail which says that the results will be out by dec 17? does any one know if anything like this happened last year as well?

no call... just a change of status online
@chrisxk @MyChen when have you been asked to submit the fees by? i believe some students may drop out after the first deadline for fee submission. Also, have you been asked to do the pre-program courses?
Thanks

 

[Baixue]

@Baixue
i have already gone through the FAQs... thought you had some other insights on this topic.. perhaps after talking to current or former students
thanks and good luck!

Just noticed, somebody in Tracker updated the status with "guaranteed admission for 2016-17". Is this specific to UCB MFE or other schools do this as well?

Good luck everybody.
