I’m really confused. I got into Anderson this year. Im really not sure what to make of the school basis rankings, though the location is great for me. I led a startup in the arts space and my eventual goal is to get into tech. Is Anderson a good choice or should I just apply next year again? I got rejected at the M7s in R2 this year so not sure how that Would work for a reapplicant immediately.

This is a classic bird-in-the-hand vs. two-in-the-bush case. It sounds like UCLA Anderson is a great fit for you, so why give it up? Reapplying to other schools can be successful, but the problem will be that you likely have to wait until R2 of this coming season as it's very hard to demonstrate a considerable change from R2 of Year 1 to R1 of Year 2. Without major improvements in your profile (assuming you have none), I am not sure what the argument would be to the M7 and comparables as to why you are a better candidate. If you have new feathers in your gap (GMAT/GRE score, promotion/change of job, etc.) then it's worth discussing.
FWIW, I don't think a deferral is an option (schools have been much stricter) about granting them post-pandemic.
In any event, without knowing a ton of information about how you applied and any feedback you might have gathered, I say take the offer and enjoy your 2 years. Anderson is a fantastic program!

I am in a similar fix. I got late with GMAT [got 770 with q50] (end of December and I did not start my college search or essay prep) and only could spend two weeks in doing my entire application starting from goals.
I got interview reject at Haas, reject at MIT, and 100k scholarship at Anderson. I wish to get into PM (Microsoft, C3AI, Amazon in that order) in short term and tech-entrepreneurship in long term (5-6 years down the lane).
Haas is my dream school. Is it worth trying there with my best shot. Also, is it worth trying Kellogg/Stanford next year?
