I interviewed recently; it was very conversational- I think what Anderson is genuinely trying to get out of the interview is to get to know you, and make sure you'd "fit" in their environment. So I'd say to prepare for the Anderson interview, just make sure you can answer "Why MBA" and "Why Anderson" well (what you would do for any other MBA interview), know your story, and you should do just fine! Just be yourself.

That being said, I felt I did well when I left the admissions office, but a couple days later I was starting to look back at it and realized I could have answered a few questions slightly better. Oh well, can't do anything about it now...

This is for all future applicants obsessing over this year's post, as I did waiting for months for a response from UCLA...

I interviewed in the first week of R1 and did not hear anything until January 28. So if you don't hear back in the "early admission" don't freak out.

I also re-took the gmat after a 700+ attempt and failed miserably on the second attempt. They truly must have looked at my highest score as they promise on their website.

I submitted two days before R1 deadline. Was invited to interview on Nov 7, Interviewed on Nov 26th and received decision on Jan 28.
So, do not freak out if you don't hear anything until decision date!! As you can see, you can also receive very good news then! :)

This may be a silly question, but if you are extended an interview invitation, do you choose your interview dates from a range of dates or do they pick for you?

The e-mail I received from UCLA after I submitted my application stated that interview invites will be sent out until mid March, so I would assume March 15th is when you know whether you're dinged or WL. Still got time, but sucks to be waiting.

It really sucks indeed, I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Best of luck to you too!

Glad i'm not the only one feeling this way. and worse is that there is no way to know if the application has been read and put aside or what. Good luck to all :)

Is that the official number? If yes, that is a very positive sign!

Well, we got this email:

Welcome to our new admits!
This week we finished our first round of admissions for the year, and over 80 additional new students were invited to join the UCLA Anderson family. Get to know each other via the Facebook group for the MBA Class of 2016, and sign up to meet each other in person soon too

My interpretation is 80 students in the 2nd wave of R1 decision. Not sure about the figures for the early admit batch. They cant possibly admit only 80 in R1, but I may be wrong though.

Thank you for the clarification! Hoping for the best!

Just 81 offers seem low IMHO!
In a year, doesn't UCLA make >700 offers?

I agree with you. Its just saying during that week of R1 decision, an additional 80 applicants were accepted. So there were probably more acceptance during other weeks of R1.
