Question. What's the notification schedule?
I got an e-mail with November 3rd. Is that when we start getting either interview invitation or denial?

confused..

Can you share what the email said exactly? I'm submitting this weekend and a little curious what that November 3rd date is referring to.

Does anyone think either not doing a supplemental essay or not doing a video is a tremendous detriment? I feel like 1 minute is too short, and would prefer the audio. But it seems like people are recommending the video because it allows adcom to put a face to the application. Any thoughts?

It said ' you check status of your app after November 3rd by logging in to ApplyYourself.' I think it means you will be notified if either all materials have been submitted or additional info required.

I don't know if it helps or not. Adcom clearly mentions that this essay is truly optional and does not impact the chances of applicants. No comments on that.

To your question on the video, if you prefer an audio, you could just put a recent professional photograph as the video in window live movie maker and that will put a face to the application :) Just a thought.

In an effort to get my application in by R1, I opted for the audio instead of video. If you have the time/energy, I think video is more fun and will show off some of your creativity (if you're good at editing, using Final Cut Pro etc.). Having said that, I did two versions... one with some "slides" to go along with my audio, and I got feedback saying that people preferred the pure audio version. I overlayed some sound effects and it helped conjure a few mental images (similar to a children's audio book).

I would definitely opt for "something" over nothing. Even a text essay is better than not submitting Essay #3.

Hey folks, best of luck on R1 submissions!

I've updated the roll call (sorry, I just went through and updated a lot of FEMBA applicants from R1 to R2 - didn't catch these before).

In for Round 1. That 1 minute optional video response did take a lot of setup and work - shooting, editing and all the little nice touches.

Hey folks - First of all, congrats to the first rounders for getting your app done!

Secondly, I wanted to encourage you to read the MBA student blogs to get a better idea about what life is like at UCLA Anderson. Though it may not feel like a priority while you're cranking out these essays, a better understanding of our school's strengths and culture would really shine through on essays!

Thanks duuuma! Circle of Death - awesome, lol.
