UCB MFE UCB MFE Admission Discussion

[mr_spectre]

Deadline for all courses to be completed by Oct except the pre-program courses and instructions that they will reach out for updates regularly. Some of these classes I’ve already taken or even have a research paper on so I might ask to take them off the list.

Even I have some courses that are already there on my transcript or I have already done them. How are you planning to convey this to them? Should an email suffice?

Email was my plan but even if they say no, a quick Coursera certificate on a subject I already know well should be a breeze.

I have a checklist that says "Books", "Submit Monthly Conditions Updates" and "Take Pre-Programming Course", but still no status update.

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
