Anderson (UCLA): Class of 2016- Calling all applicants!

[/quote]

Thanks. Yes, I did call them and the issue is - I didn't send the original undergrad degree certificate. Do MBA schools normally ask for the original to be mailed? My University only issues original copies of transcripts + provisional certificate on request.

I had the same issue. You just need to warn them that you only have one original of the transcripts and/or certificates and they send them back to you after receiving.

How is the consulting concentration at UCLA? I am looking for a mix of tech and Operations. Can ny1 help pls?

I received one on the 5th too... didn't expect it really.

Hi All, long time listener, first time caller. Quick question for everyone: Does anyone know when the deposit deadlines for Anderson are? I can't seem to find them online for the traditional full-time MBA.

Thank you so much for your help.

No invites lately?

Hi All,

After I login to the portal, I just see the following information :

Hi, I believe it only updates after you have completed an interview and send them your official transcripts in the mail, and there is a week or two delay after that.

Hi guys, I found out that the update is manual, which also means that it happens in batches. So for people in the 1st batch the status updates all happened on the same day. So depending on when you had the interview and when they received your original transcripts, your application will be updated. Like I said before, if you've had your interview and have sent your documents more than a week back, just call them and find out. They'll let you know right away about your status regardless of what it says on the web portal.

Hi Guys!

I haven't received any information from them about interview invite or decline. Are they still sending invitations to Indians? Has anyone recently got one?

Secondly does one needs to send them the official documents before they have received their interview invite to complete the documents?

Hi Kumar,

I can answer your second question - the document package needs to be sent once the Interview is done. Then they will holistically review everything to give a decision on the admission.

All the very best.

I keep checking my application to see if anything has changed (recommenders disappearing, etc.,)...nothing yet! Any idea when we can expect to hear something?

Just wanted to share my interview experience.

Interviewed 12/9 and lasted 30-35 minutes.

Interviewed with Adcom, which surprised me since other prospectives in TW I met interviewed with 2nd year students. Makes sense though because right now Anderson students are taking finals.

Discussed the following:

1) Asked me about professional background and how I ended up in current job and other followup questions

2) Why MBA, Why UCLA Anderson?

3) Professional Failure

4) Teamwork example

5) Leadership experience

6) How would I contribute to class and community

7) My questions

Adcom also mentioned that I should make sure to send out required documents, and that Admissions hoped to send out decisions before winter break but after that the latest I would hear back would be the Jan 28 deadline.

If you look at the UCLA MBA Insider's Blog last year they had 2 decision batches sent out for R1 (Dec 18 and Jan23). This year my guess would be decisions on Dec 20 and Jan 28.

For those still waiting for interviews invites, do not lose hope. There is still a good amount of time before that Jan 28 decision date to receive an invite.

Thanks for sharing your interview experience. All the best for the result!

For UCLAAnderson, do you need to have the testing agency send official score to the school upon submission or do we wait until we receive initial notification from Anderson before having the testing agency send them?

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

As per my knowledge, your application is not considered complete if the adcom of UCLA does not receive official score reports from the agency.

I hope this helps.
