[mangokoala]

Anyone applied for UCB MFE during Round 4? The application processing timeline for R4 tends to be so weird, let's share our progress here.

Hi, was it an alumni interview? What questions did they ask you?

 

[optionsDelta]

No response after first interview. Still under review.

 

[Mlsw]

Hi, has anyone heard back from the first interview now? Any updates? I had my first interview recently haven't heard anything yet

 

[Rohit Kaul]

No updates yet. I was wondering if they have taken any hold or wait listed students off their respective status. If that is the case, maybe they are reconsidering their applications. Hopefully, all the seats haven't been filled yet.

Hi Rohit, I`m not sure what do you mean by "taken off their respective status". Are you saying that the status would be changed to hold or rejected if one is considered not interested?

Hi Rohit, I`m not sure what do you mean by "taken off their respective status". Are you saying that the status would be changed to hold or rejected if one is considered not interested?

Hey, so i mean there are 3 possibilities now - students who were previously kept on hold status, its possible their application may have been reopened, second is R4 students are being accepted and third possibility is that all seats have been filled and there is no room for more admits. Probability of the 3rd is low since these are rolling admissions. If we know somehow that the 1st option is happening, then are chances reduce somehow. Hence i was asking if anyone's status has changed from waitlist or hold.

 

[Rohit Kaul]

Our* chances

Thank u for the explanation. I think r4 applicants may have higher priority than previous applicants who got a hold. The results might be posted after Thanksgiving.

Lets hope this is the case indeed. All the best to you for next week.

The website mentions 1st December to be the date for R4 results. Considering that they haven't called for the second interview till this late, should I expect a rejection?

I don't know anyone from round 4 has received anything after the first interview so hopefully they are just still evaluating profiles. The second interview (with Linda) is mostly just an admission call in most cases anyway, so personally I don't think that means reject. Just wait a bit longer I guess.

One of the anonymous poster on tracker got admit in round 4 so I was worried.

Are you saying the anon who got interviewed before submitting the application? I mean that seems weird to me

 

[optionsDelta]

oh! is that so? I didn't notice :P

He/she interviewed in 21st September, so he/she probably wrote the tracker timeline wrong. Probably a round 3 applicant
