Someone has recieved interview invites for UCB Round 1?

 

[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.

 

[anonym]

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.

What to expect in Berkeley interviews?
Just want to know, if they only ask Resume based questions or ask some other topics as well.

 

[quantnoob]

They ask on other topics as well

They ask on other topics as well

Any idea about the topic they would cover?

 

[xmdd]

Did you receive an interview invite? If so, may I ask when you received your invite?

 

[prisonMike]

I received an interview invite today.

 

[bosbop]

I received an interview invite today.

Good luck! I got one too...

 

[ThewolfJD]

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.

 

[ThewolfJD]

Thank you so much

This is the fastest decision ever - One day after the interview, they sent UCB admit letter...

Congrats!!!!! I had my interview one week ago but didn’t hear anything. Couldn’t find much past year information. Does it mean a rejection for me?
