[YiM]

Wondering about the same...have they sent out interview invites?

 

[lwhluan]

Yes. As far as I know, the first round of interviews have started.

Do you know if it’s necessary to be interviewed before admission?

 

[ThewolfJD]

They said that you can be admitted without an interview, I know some cases in which candidates have been interviewed before 3 days of the decision deadline and they were admitted.

Is Berkeley still interviewing applicants?

 

[prisonMike]

I had my interview yesterday.

 

[ThewolfJD]

I you dont mind, could you tell us, how is the mechanic of the interview?

 

[prisonMike]

It was good. You should expect 2-3 questions from any of the above topics discussed. Mainly, they'll see what topic you have on your resume, and ask questions on that. You can also expect some questions on the current market news. All and all, it is good. Little bit of revision should be fine.

 

[prisonMike]

Topic can be Stats, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability, ML, Equity, Derivatives, Programming.
