How to Become A Haas MBA Admit

The Berkeley MBA program is one of the top 25 business schools in the nation. To get into the Berkeley MBA program, you will need to have the complete package in terms of grades, test scores, business experience, and interview skills. However, you can do a lot of things to greatly improve your chances at being admitted to the Berkeley MBA program.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• GMAT
• Bachelor's degree
• Work experience

1. Take a GMAT preparation course or study a GMAT preparation book. The Berkeley MBA program has many great applicants so you will need a 700+ score to stay in the running

2. If you can choose between the day and evening/weekend programs, try to be admitted to the one which has the higher admissions rate, which is usually the evening and weekend program. The degree is the same no matter which program you pick.

3. You need to make sure the people who will write your letters of recommendation will give you a glowing review. You will doom your chances if one of your recommenders gives you a lukewarm review.

4. If your undergraduate GPA is low, take some additional college classes to improve your grades especially if you are close to a 3.00. You won't be admitted with a GPA too close to 3.00. If you have a solid GPA of 3.60 or above, there isn't much to be gained from taking additional college classes.

5. Before the interview, which is required of all applicants before they are admitted, you need to be very specific about why the Berkeley MBA program is the perfect program for you, and not some other program. For example, you may want to link your background with interest in nearby Silicon Valley's venture capitalists. When you answer this question, make sure you look and sound excited as well.

6. If you don't get in, but still want an MBA in the Bay Area, Stanford University, Mills College, St. Mary's College and Santa Clara University all have excellent MBA programs as well.
