Looks like it was some kind of automatic mail. The only possible way for the rest of us to hear is if such emails are sent in batches based on geographical location. This waiting is just nuts!

I am based in Korea, and I know that at least one Korean has been accepted.
Since we know that some Americans and a Brazilian has also received the email,
geographical location is not the issue.

In my opinion, if you go to the Anderson admissions blog,
you can see that they posted an article after sending the early batches last year and also the year before.
This article has not been posted yet this year.
And, the email was sent on 12:15 AM PST, so this was definitely an automated email.

Therefore, all I can speculate is that they uploaded a bunch of people's application status updates,
and had the email be sent after most Americans went to bed, so that they can wake up to good news.
Plus, since the admissions blog has not been updated, I hope that they aren't finished uploading.

Otherwise, a ding for me too. :cry:

How long after the decision release do they update the blog? Also, I would assume they'd finish uploading all Early decisions before sending out. So we'll probably have to wait till next month!

Once 11am and once 2pm...
I agree that they have probably finished uploading early discussions,
and a blog article will come up soon.

Does anybody know from last year's cycle whether people interviewed in Nov but didn't receive early admit = ding/WL or is there chance for an admit at the Jan notification deadline?

Been refreshing my email & the application portal to check for any miracles.


You have incredible stats, I don't think you'd get dinged. Do you have any huge red flags with your work experience? It seems compared to last year a lower proportion of people are getting December decisions, so I think you're still in good shape. The average student at UCLA has a GMAT of 704 last year...so far the lowest GMAT accepted is 710...should be a lot more acceptances coming.

Congrats mgh234 on your admit! Certainly hope you're right about more admits coming! I'm still waiting to see if anyone from India was accepted in Early decision. Just when you think this torture of waiting might end...it gets a little longer.

For what I read in last year thread, there were cases of people who interviewed on Nov and got admitted ondecision date. So there is still hope. Anyway I still think there are more admissions to cone (if not now on Jan) I find hard to believe that so few people got accepted!

Hey guys, interviewed early November and had a great experience. Felt confident as ever and have good stats. No word today.

I'm going to offer that the admissions matrix is complicated. I don't think it's as simplistic as being divided by region, or necessarily timing. Similar to the hiring process, selecting one candidate has implications on the dynamic of the rest of the team.

Anderson is reserving the right to select a few candidates now and see how the class is shaping. Perhaps, it's not the end of the road for all those not contacted.

Until then, I'm turning off my gmatclub notifications. See you all back here on January 23! Haha...

Best of luck all and congrats to those with good news.
