Re-waitlisted at Haas, again
Yesterday I was re-waitlisted for the Fall 2008 incoming Berkeley Haas full time MBA program. Considering the other two outcomes are rejected and accepted, it could have been worse but it could have been better. Being the 5th time I’ve received communication from Haas that I’m still on the waitlist, I guess I should take this as a good sign, considering that they have let most other people off the list by now.
However, school starts in August and I find it increasingly unlikely that I’ll be getting in. Fortunately, I have other plans. One of the many options I’ll be considering is re-applying to Stanford and Haas.
I’m also considering applying to my undergrad alma mater: UCSD’s Rady School of Business, which is a new MBA program launched only a couple years ago. And as I look towards programs like the Peace Corps, the MBA programs offered while on a Peace Corps mission seem interesting, though they are primarily from lower-ranked schools.
