Berkeley Haas 2020 Strategy Guide

EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2020-'21 MBA Application for UC-Berkeley Haas

Make no mistake: UC-Berkeley is nobody’s “safety school.” That idea is a myth. Competition is as intense at this school as anywhere else. The Haas adcom has high standards. If you don’t show them the love, and convince them why you belong there, you’re going to have a hard time catching the attention of your admissions reader. This year’s questions from Haas are quite challenging, and you will need to spend significant time on them – perhaps more time than on any other application.

Whether you’re interested in the Berkeley full-time MBA or you want to know if you might be a fit to the part-time EWMBA track, this SnarkStrategies Guide is for you. The two main essay questions are covered, and it’s been refreshed from the 2020 version including some commentary on the change to the interview options. You’ll get plenty of brainstorming exercises, and structural maps, to give you all sorts of angles on how to tackle your individual essays from the ideation phase to the architecture. This should give you plenty of ideas on what to write (and what NOT to write!) in these all-important materials for the Berkeley adcom.

We also give detailed suggestions and a template for how to make the most of the Optional Information series of questions about family background — which probably most applicants should answer!
