If you check the tracker, it's different for everybody.

I got waitlisted just now without an interview. My preparation list was updated to include many courses that I have already taken in college. Why would I have to take them again?? Anybody has any idea? I'll probably write them an email.

Is it waitlist with a preparation checklist?

My understanding from previous years conversion is that if you complete the checklist you have a reasonable shot, but most people don’t bother to finish the checklist

UCB MFE - Question for those waitlisted by UCB MFE Program

Hey guys! I wanted to know from those of you who have been waitlisted by UCB if you have heard back (accepted/rejected/still waitlisted) and whether you are working towards the checklist items. I've created a poll just to understand what it looks like as i am waitlisted with one item left to...

Hey Guys,
I am very happy share that I got positive response from admission committee for recommendation to the program today. Thanks for all the threads here which kept giving me hope to wait (else I would have been hopeless since it’s already close to R2 and I didn’t hear back). As FYI I also got a lot of checklist to complete:
1. Numerical Analysis
2. PDE
3. Macroeconomics
4. Python
5. Finance
6. Pre-program courses
7. Recommended Books

I also got recommendation to graduate division for admission and an option to accept the recommendation (which is meant to reserve the spot as per the portal). An official admission letter will follow post approval from the Graduate Division(again as per the portal).
