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

No one can say. It depends on the number of people not taking up the admit offer. I see some people who are admitted early choose Booth or some other school over UCLA. That ought to open up spaces. But UCLA also played it safe this year and made sure the yield is high. So it's a mixed sign as of now. But overall putting you in a waitlist after interview means they want to take you but there's no space. That's a very positive sign. Let's hope you will make it through.

May be some current student can comment on this?

Thanks,

I don't think this is true. I got an early interview invite from R2, but my GMAT score is anything but stellar. The rest of my profile is quite good, though.

No issues Desley, all the best !

Hi guys,

did anyone receive any information about scholarships?
does it suppose to come together with the acceptance letter (in case of acceptance)?

thank you

Someone said they received an email about the scholarship. He suggested other admits to check their inbox.

Thanks,

Dinged but as much as I would have liked to go to UCLA, I think it worked out. UCI feels like a great fit and I'm glad I'm going there next year.

Check your email (maybe spam folder). I got the email around 8pm pst. No calls for me, maybe they will call me personally tomorrow.

Nothing in the spam folder either.
Does that mean I got nothing? Won't they be sending out official we-were'nt-able-to-offer-you-a-scholarship letters?

can you please elaborate a little bit? Is there a difference between a fellowship and a scholarship?

did the fellowship come together with the acceptance letter?

Its a DING without interview!! Congratulations to those who got an admit...and all the best to the WL guys!!

Nope, I learnt about my acceptance through applyyourself at around 5pm PST. At around 9pm PST I received an email from mba.admissions@anderson.ucla.edu about the fellowship offer.

I guess scholarship is something you applied for and fellowship is merit-based. The email says "Our selection decision was based on your outstanding record of excellence in scholarship and leadership, as well as the unique perspective you will bring to the UCLA Anderson MBA Class of 2016."

I read somewhere that fellowships are handed out to the top 1/3rd of students. Not sure how they define top 1/3rd, but I do have a high GMAT/GPA. I'm sure more fellowships are still available given that they still have R1 waitlisters and R2/R3 applicants. Also, some people who have been offered fellowship may decide to attend elsewhere.

I got a separate email about fellowship about 1.5 hours after receiving the first email that decision was available. Also received a call from my interviewer about my admission and fellowship.

To those who were waitlisted in Round 1, I found this in the admissions blog from last year. It looks like we will receive an update by the Round 2 deadline at which point we may be accepted, denied or asked to remain on the waitlist for the final round of admissions. Hope this helps. Good luck to us all!

Same pattern here. Acceptance at Applyyourself at around 5 pm PST and mail about fellowship 7 pm PST. No calls.

Invited to interview in October, but didn't send degree certificate by the time the released early decisions.

waitlist...sigh...

Do you have to apply for a fellowship, or is everyone automatically considered? I didn't see a box to check on the application to be considered for one.
