Calling all UCLA Anderson Fall 2010 applicants!

Haven't heard yet either. I checked the UCLA MBA Blog entries from last year, and they released "small" batches (i.e. not all) of admits 2 weeks and 1 week before the official notification date.

Awesome insight! There is still hope!

Just took a look at last year's blog posts, and it's very reassuring. If they follow a similar pattern this year, maybe we'll see a blog post in 2 hours or so saying that they released some early decisions.

The best part is that in both posts about early releases last year, they say that no decision means you are still up for consideration.

I also happened to catch one of the old 2009 blog posts while looking back, saying that R3 is a great time to apply to Anderson (in 2009) - so the whole R3 discussion we had earlier in this thread (speculating that maybe they were looking for R3 applicants because of low R2 numbers) is kind of moot. I guess Anderson is just more open to R3 in general compared to other schools.

These are the tidbits that make this forum amazing!

Thank you so much for the investigative research

holy cow. I just got a separate email indicating I get a scholarship for $5k plus $65k in fellowships. Look out for the scholarship emails everyone!

Wow - congrats!

So pretty much a full-ride! Congrats

Do you mind sharing your other stats?

Thank you. Posted on the last page:

Honestly, I don't even know what to think right now. Just got off the phone with admissions and they said my fellowship is high by even their standards. My GMAT was solid but not ridiculously high - plus I've taken it 3 times in my life. AND I have a few C's in my undergraduate grades, including my first Finance class!

Haha...congrats! That is such a great story

Shows you that hard work and perseverance can take you anywhere you like!

congrats on the fellowship. does anyone have a sense for what the normal range is for fellowship grants? Whats considered high-mid-low?

Thanks, and good luck to you all.

Per MJShores twitter:

And that is why her twitter updates are amazing!

6 more agonizing days....

A bit relieved. Thanks for whoever finding the twitter update. You rock!

MBA insider blog:

"This morning we released a partial batch of admission decisions to a subset of our applicants. If you have not received a call from us today, do not despair. Inclusion in this early decision releases is not determined by application timing or by ranking and is impacted by the multiple reads applications receive and by the interview schedule.

We will release the remainder of the round two decisions on our official release date of March 31. Also, if you have applied in round three and are wondering when interview invitations will begin, we expect to start extending invitations in early April.

That's kind of reassuring.... Except that I interviewed really early, so I don't want to read into the "interview schedule" comment... Oh well... Hoping for the best!!! Good luck everyone

That's insane. Many congratulations!

Thanks man Yeah I had to give it my all since I was lazy and only applied to one school. Took a Manhattan GMAT class to raise my GMAT and then hired a consultant to get some focus on my goals and what picture to paint. It wasn't painless but looks like it worked out in my favor.
