I previously applied to UCB for the 2010-2011 academic year. I received an interview, but did poorly.
I am on the Hold list, not the Waiting list. From the UCB FAQ Master of Financial Engineering Program | Berkeley Haas, Hold status indicates that they will review my application again later in the admission cycle, whatever that may mean.
From their letter:
We advise you to complete the following:
• The admissions committee will schedule another interview with a current student or alumnus
• Take the preprogram courses in C++, Mathematics, and Statistics offered by our department
• Read Crack’s Heard on the Street, Hull’s Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives, Brealey, Myers, and Allen’s Principles of Corporate Finance and Zhou’s A Practical Guide to Quantitative Finance Interviews and read the Wall Street Journal regularly
After receiving this letter, I spoke with an administrator at their office, and they indicated that they intended to interview me a second time relatively soon.
