UCB Haas Fall 2021 Transfers

Oh sorry, it’s not officially written anywhere about it being released during the first or second week. I’ve just asked a few people who attended Haas in the past or are currently Haas, and some have speculated that it will be released earlier than usual because of the increase in applicants this year hehe

My contacts in the Haas Undergrad program are mirroring the sentiment of early (and more widespread) interview solicitations this year, but I’m not convinced that it is strictly a result of the increase in applicants, and the 1st/2nd week release is still only a group chat rumor. YOY, most UC’s experience a 5-9% increase in apps and keep their admission rates fairly steady. Berkeley hit 8.7% this year, with the most growth coming from OOS students (up 44%). More students in unique situations requires more due diligence…

yes, that makes sense. i’ve only reported what haas attendees told me when i asked about them about the day they got their interviews. as you said, it is only a rumor that interviews will be released before the first or second week. I’ve been anticipating that the interviews will be released around march 16 since last year’s interviews were released around that time. thanks for the explanation, and I’m wishing you and everyone who’s responded to this forum good luck for admission decisions :blush:

yeah i figured i’m just on my toes haha

does anyone know what happens if we get a video interview? like from the time we get the email, how long do we have to actually do it? i guess they will tell us all that I’m just curious

At one of the sessions offered in January, one of the admissions faculty said we would have two days after we get the email to record the interview.

Has anyone gotten an interview invite? :frowning:

not yet, they might come out later today though if they’re sticking with the same date as last year, when it does come out I think they’ll release it after 2pm or something

do you know how long we have to complete the interview once we begin? i think somewhere it said 20 minutes?

Most likely less than 20, from last year they had 6 minutes to answer 6 questions and I’m pretty sure you get 2 tries.

yeah i wonder if we’ll record the interview or have a live zoom with an alumni–i know last year they did recordings

ok it’s 2PM on the dot anyone got the email??

I emailed one of the directors of admissions and outreach and was told that if you receive an invitation, it does not mean you are more or less likely to be admitted to Haas. The timeline for interview invitations varies and will be sent via email.
