Kudos

I received my invite overnight (probably evening PST) - I'm an international applicant and was really glad to see they do Skype interviews but unfortunately every spot but one was already taken... and I will be speaking to them at 3am. Oh well, I'll probably be less tired than if I had to deal with the jet lag of going to see them for just a day! I've emailed them them and hoping that a couple of other spots open up.

Did anyone get an invitation to the on campus Access Anderson event on the 27th? I'd go, but I'm not local.

I think they sent that to everyone as a generic blast. It would have made a little more sense if it was targeted to at least the West Coast, but I guess if people happen to be in LA they could go too.

couldn't agree more ... my heart just skip a beat when I saw the mail from Anderson in my inbox.
But then, it turned out to be an informational email ...

... and the wait continues!!!

Kudos

For the folks who are going to be interviewing...
I had my interview on Monday and I was asked the following questions -
1) Tell me about yourself
2) Why MBA, ST/LT goals
3) Why Anderson
4) Example of leadership required in your current role(s)
5) What other schools are you applying to?

After that it became more of a conversation and I had the chance to ask my questions. The whole interview was a bit longer than an hour.

Good Luck all!

Thank you for sharing, stayfrosty6! Did you have the interview on-campus or via Skype?

Hey Guys,

I don't see many interview invites yet. Are there more to come or the left outs can expect a ding? Also I heard from somewhere that UCLA gives call as per the GMAT score. Is this true? Last year's thread show many call coming till late Nov. Any insight would be really helpful

I am an Indian applicant here

Cheers!

I am from Italy, was invited to interview on Nov 12th and had the interview on Nov 22nd. GMAT 680, GPA 3.7 and strong extracurricular...

Does anyone know whether all decisions are release by Jan 23 or the process is rolling and some decisions are realeased earlier...? I heard last year there were like a early decision batch on 20 Dic. I am saying this because UCLA is my first option, but I have other decision being realeased on Dic12 and I have heard there is only 15 days for accept admissions in case I get accepted in other school..

Thanks and good luck for all of you!

Luis, congratulations on completing your interview! I also saw that UCLA admitted people last year before the result date. Hopefully, for your sake, you hear back early as well! Good luck!

Received an invite this evening.

710/3.5/5 years financial services/27/white/male

The only options presented are on-campus interview and skype interview. I live in NYC so I'd imagine there are a number of alumni in the area. Does anyone have experience scheduling an in-person interview off campus?

Thanks in advance.
