skyhawk Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Hi! I received a mail from UC Berkeley that I have been shortlisted for the interview for M.Eng. program. Has anybody else also got such a mail? Also, what are such kind of interviews like? Actually I didnt know about this interview process and thus it is a really short notice for me.. What kind of interview can I expect it to be? Any suggestions please...
skyhawk Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Would you mind sharing your stats? Yeah sure.. Cumulative GPA - 9.8 / 10 (under-grad) -> may be equivalent to some 3.9 on 4 GRE - 324 (Quant - 170 , Verbal - 154) Toefl - 116 2 years of work ex in IT field Please let me know if something else is required...
EngineerGrad Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 We have very similar stats! My gpa is a 3.90, GRE: 160 Q/153 V/5.5 AW, toefl: 111. Congratulations on your interview! I haven't gotten anything yet, but I'll keep positive. Since I haven't interviewed for the M.Eng program, I don't know what you could expect. Best of luck!

And I hope that I find someone who can share his/her interview experience that could help... As I really have absolutely no idea what to expect in it...

Any idea on does everyone who applies to the M. Eng. Program gets an interview call? Or are there direct admits also? And what can one expect from such a call? Does this mean that your application is at good place or it is at same level as that of others?
not_sure Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Hi. I did my interview this past weekend. It was just a chat with a current MEng student. I don't know if the interview is any indicator of where our application stands. Good luck !

Pl share your experience...
not_sure Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 It was about 30 minutes long. No technical questions. Just a discussion about the program and why you want to attend.

forsyth Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hello! Any idea when the decisions will be sent out?
skyhawk Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 No idea .. Even m waiting for the same... Do update if somebody gets to know anything....
forsyth Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Is the selection process left to the fung institute? Or is it done by the individual departments? PS: This is because I was interviewed by a MEng student, of a different department.
skyhawk Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Not sure.. But I feel the individual departments should decide...
Huntsman Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I also interviewed for Berkeley's MEng program, but in Bioengineering. I was told at the end of the interview that they planned to have decisions made by March 15th. I am assuming it is similar for EECS. Good luck!
skyhawk Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Oh! Thats nice.. One week more to go before we hear from them then...! All the best to everyone!
skyhawk Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) And please do post here if you get any updates... That way at least we will know they have started sending out decisions! Edited March 7, 2014 by skyhawk
