So I guess false alarm for the rest of us?

Anxiously waiting for calls/emails. Seems that Anderson reports R1 decisions the latest among other top b-schools.

Tuesday passed with some excitement. What's the revised date for early decisions now? :) Recommender is still present in my application dashboard. :/ Annoyed everytime I login there!

Okay, now this is getting strange. I just followed the instructions to log back in to see my acceptance letter and got the following message:

"You should soon be receiving a response directly from your major program regarding a decision on your application."

Luckily I saved a copy of the letter on my desktop. Here's to hoping they don't rescind my offer :)

Ok, I did my Masters in US and something similar happened to me then. Sharing my experience so that the confusion is cleared a bit.

In many state-run schools, both graduate division and management division (in this case Anderson) work parallelly on any given application. Each checks for certain requirements to see if the applicant is qualified enough to recieve an admit. What happened in your case is - the graduate division gave their go ahead but their decision is contingent to what Anderson thinks. In short, you are one step closer to your admit.

To put things realistically, it can happen that either of the departments can give a reject from their end. This process sucks I know, but that is the case in most of the state schools.

Hope this helps.

Have any indian applicants received an interview invite?

Indian. .Still waiting.. I guess the journey ends for us here as they said in mail " Most interview invites go out by mid dec although we do some interviewing in Jan"

I dont see any interview updates from India. For indians, Are the interviews done on skype or in person? Any idea? If its in person, then we can have some hopes of adcom member visiting India in Jan.

I'm an international applicant and haven't been interviewed as well.
I'm still hoping they will send out invites in January... :/

With R1 admission notices for other Top 25 schools wrapping up this week, could it be the case that Anderson is playing the waiting game for some candidates to withdraw before going forward?

Historically UCLA released decisions on the third Tuesday of December. So they were not waiting for withdrawals. Perhaps policy changes?

It wouldn't make much sense for them to NOT release some decisions in December. I'm sure there's a lot of people like me - If I get into UCLA Anderson in December, I'll apply to a reach school as my last R2 application (or maybe not apply anywhere else), if I don't get a response, I'll apply to match or safety school. Then if the match or safety school ends up giving scholarship $$$, a person who would've gone to UCLA with an earlier decision, may end up not going. I'm sure this outweighs withdrawns.

That makes total sense. Anyway, if the release decisions on Friday (or even on Thursday) they could still have a little of both worlds. Some people might withdraw by then and also they take all the advantages of releasing decisions before R2. I think it is the most plausible date. Plus, it is true this year they changed the application process maybe they also changed their policy on this.
