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.

 

[Jonoh]

So I got "Waitlist with Guarantee" which means waitlist for this year and guaranteed place in the 2016-2017 year. I never knew this was an option, but very happy none-the-less. I'm not sure what I should say for the tracker though

I think I am the "somebody" that was guaranteed admission for 2016-17, so anyone of you guys besides Jonoh gets the same result now?

 

[zyz]

Yeah, I was talking about your update

So, is it safe to assume that if those two "waitlists with guranteed place in the 2016-17" would get admitted if applied earlier (2nd, 3rd Rounds)?

By the way, how are you going to fill the gap year?
