Good luck to you if you submitted an app!


Wow that's early! My status shows received, anybody else have a different one?

Is that normal? Does that mean they had fewer R1 apps than usual?

I'm guessing they already evaluated apps as they came in, and are sending those out.

My status shows 'Complete'. Not sure exactly what that means, but I think it is good. UCLA does rolling admissions within the round, so I would imagine they have already started evaluating applications.

I attended an admissions event and Mae Shores (assistant dean and director of admissions) indicated that she expects to waitlist a lot of candidates in R1. So there is not necessarily a big advantage to applying in R1 vs R2. According to her, they have an early R1 date so that they can iron out any kinks in their new admissions process prior to R2. That said, i applied in R1 because i would know if they are defintely not interested in me, so i can add a few schools to R2.

What are people planning to do about essay #4? Are you doing the audio, and if so how do you plan to record your speech? Do you think you would be at a disadvantage to submit the 250 word essay instead?


I think the 250 word count option could be a disadvantage. You want to show them you have good speaking skills in this essay as well as tell a good story.

I’m not crazy about this whole “transparency” in the application process. I kinda of just wished they would just release interviews on an ad hoc basis. Makes me jump less whenever I get an email in my inbox.

Should I worry my application has not changed to complete? I submitted on October 5th?

I really don't know but I feel like Anderson is a little less well-organized than other top 20 schools. I wouldn't take it to mean anything.

edit: just to clarify, I received an email that states my application is complete and a different link with application ID so that I can keep track of this. it still only says "received" on applyyourself.com

So you did or didn't get an interview invite? If you did, then congrats! How did they let you know? By email?

Nutty, you mind giving us a mini-profile about yourself since you're pretty new?

Congrats guys..... But on what date did you submit??? Don't wanna go overboard with the guessing..... but still..... UCLA is rolling process and should give a fair bit of idea for the remaining of us (despite what they say on the website).

I don't think its rolling because I submitted my app fairly late, around 11PM EST on October 8. If I were to venture a guess I'd say it is based on GMAT scores (760 Q51/V41) since my GPA is a@@ low (<3.0).

Note: when I say based on GMAT scores I mean which applications they chose to read first, therefore if you have a 750+ GMAT score but crappy essays, it just means that they will probably read your application first, but still not extend an invite. But again this is just based on groundless speculation...
