Yes, I know an applicant who got just one technical interview with a current student. He emailed UCB MFE that he got admitted to MIT and needs a quick decision before MIT offer deadline. He didn't hear anything back from them. Today when he logged in their system and found that it was changed to Admit.
He is going to MIT so he was a bit amused when he found out today.
I think i will get CMU offer because I got interview and did it well.
Do you think I can use that to push them?
How do you know that? What's your current application status?Berkeley has released their admissions decisions on the online application. It looks like they may be mailing us the decisions by paper mail instead of email.
The question is why haven't you. Leveraging one program's offer at other programs for quicker responses, better financial packages is a long accepted practice. Applicants to universities have done this for ages.
Remember you are the paying customers and have all the leverage and not at the mercy or whim of any program. If you are not comfortable asking them to give you faster communication on the decision NOW, how are you going to ask them for more important things like internship/job support LATER?
Lastly, it is encouraged that if you have offer deadlines, you should tell the programs so they can put it on an express line. Not every program will honor this practice but they should not use this against you in any way.
There are many better programs out there so you have to optimize your time. Get them to work for you, not the other way around.
