Ohh well you have been interviewed that's the best part. I saw the admission blog and it says " we are planning on completing most of the interviews through feb. though some may spill to mid-March". That is scary.. if they finish by Feb that means they must have had dispatched invites by now and I m pretty sure I wont be among the lucky March ones.

According to profiles of people who have received their invitations of interview, it looks like adcoms of the school dont prefer engineers this year.

Keep fingers crossed.

I'm an engineer and I was interviewed earlier- I don't think that would be the case, as Anderson attracts a good amount of engineers due to their great connections to the tech industry. That being said, we all have to be patient (I know, easier said than done

)

I don't think that's true. I'm an engineering and got an early R2 interview invite. In any case, the sample size on this forum is too small to make these kinds of generalizations.

I prefer not to give up hope on receiving an interview invite, but it seems to be about time. Anyone have just cause to think interview invites are remaining for R2?

Hi,

Good news to argue my assumption, at least I dont necessarily need to be worried about the constrain. Any international applicant who has engineering background in this topic got a interview? Since CA is the Mecca of high tech, I expect those engineers from CA would have more merits than others who have similar profile. Perhaps I have a wrong assumption again.

Really hope to get accepted to UCLA. It has been a tough year with five dings, two after interviews. The waiting is not fun whatsoever.

Hi,

Indian engineer applicant here. I submitted by application in R2.
It is still showing up as 'submitted' and has not gone 'under review'.
With a lot of people getting admissions, and the rest having received interview calls, is it time to give up hope?

I got the invite on Feb 5. There is no change in my application status. It just continues to show "submitted". Good luck and hang in there!

admisra, I was accepted last week and my application status still says, "Submitted." I don't think there is any reason to panic. It looks like at least one interview invite went out today, so don't lose hope. Good luck!
