    About this ebook

    UC-Berkeley Haas has the third-most selective admissions process of any MBA program in the world -- yes, more selective even than Wharton! You need all the advantages you can get in developing your application for such a competitive program. EssaySnark's Strategy Guide for Berkeley-Haas School of Business leads you through the process of developing all six of the essays, with detailed exercises and important insights for creating a strong MBA application.

    You'll learn the key differences between the full-time, EWMBA part-time, and joint Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA, and find out which of the different tracks is best suited for you. You'll also get answers to the perennial question of “Is my GMAT score good enough?” and you'll find out what you can do to boost your chances for acceptance at this super-competitive school.

      Did You Know?

      Here are a few lesser-known factoids about UC-Berkeley's graduate business school to start things out.

      Berkeley puts an emphasis on quantitative ability in their review of an applicant. This needs to come through in many facets of your application. We discuss this throughout this Guide.

      Berkeley also cares a lot about culture and school fit. To be successful in the application process, you need to understand their Defining Principles and be able to articulate how you have demonstrated them in your life. You'll hear more about that in the pages within.

      Berkeley has four admissions rounds, which is good for the applicant. You are encouraged to apply when you're ready and this gives you more opportunities to be ready.

      Berkeley takes longer to review applications and render decisions within each round. This is certainly good for the applicant, as it means that they are giving each application careful consideration. It's not so good for you, in that the decision cycle doesn't match up to other schools. A prudent Brave Supplicant should plan on applying to other schools' subsequent rounds, even after submitting in one of the earlier Berkeley rounds, simply because you won't have your answer back from Berkeley until those other schools' deadlines will have passed.

      The Evenings & Weekend MBA part-time program at Berkeley will accept the GRE, but the full-time program will not. You should just take the GMAT if you're serious about bschool. See the EssaySnark blog for a detailed discussion of the GRE versus the GMAT, and later sections of this Guidefor more information on the differences between the Berkeley MBA options (e.g., it's easier for qualified candidates to get an offer from the EWMBA program, however not everyone is an appropriate fit for
