Do you think if we visit the campus, we'll have a better shot at getting an interview?
I don't think that is for them to make any determinations about you as a candidate. It's for you to learn more about the school. There's no more space to sign up anyway. That didn't last very long...
On another note, I had my interview today too. Very straight forward like everyone says. He didn't ask anything tricky. We probably only covered 5 questions - I believe knowing the answers to the first 3 will carry almost your entire interview like it did mine:
-Walk me through your resume
-Why do you want a MBA now
-Why UCLA, what aspects about this school attracted you
-What is your weakness
-Describe a situation where you acted as a leader, describe challenges you faced and what you did to overcome.
Last 5 minutes were for me to ask him questions. He seemed to get a little anxious when I asked how the career center and the associations have helped prepare him to find a job. He actually hadn't found a job yet, like so many people, and mentioned that only 10-20% of the job offers were landed through the school. Sounds like you really need to take personal initiative when job hunting, even with MBA school.
Let the waiting begin.
