UCB MFE UCB MFE Admission Discussion

[RandomABCD]

Hi, everyone! I applied for the UC Berkeley MFE program 2025 Spring. It's the first round.
Has anyone receive an update yet?

I received an admission offer around 1 week after my interview on the 29th! Currently my top choice (CMU is probably the only Masters program I would need to decide between and I have some shot in the dark PhD programs) and would love to connect with anyone who also gets in!

Congrats on the offer! How did they notify you about their decision? Was it a phone call, an email, through the portal?

Did status portal change for anyone? Mine now has 3 tabs in it. It didn’t have them previously

What does it say on each?

What is your guys' preparation checklist deadline? Mine says, "Except for the MFE pre-program courses, all other items listed below must be completed by August 1, 2024."

Wondering if this is consistent across the board.

The portal has gone weird. My preparation tab changed to scholarship. On opening that the page is blank

I have those too. Well, if everybody gets it, then it's probably nothing special. Maybe they have revamped the layout.

Mine as well

Mine as well, does this mean anything?
Did people who did not give interviews also get it?

Hi everyone,
Can someone guide me on what should I expect in the interview and how should I prep for it?

From what I heard, the interviewer, who is going to be an alum, has total discretion on what to ask you. So the technical questions are kind of unpredictable.

what does waitlisted after the interview mean? I got an update after 2 days of interview.
