Calling all UCLA-Anderson Applicants(2015 Intake)Class of 17

And uve received any interview invite?

No..

Ok.. Thx.. I guess quite a few ppl are in the same boat as we are!

Got an email from Anderson with subject "Moving on up in the world", talking about rankings increase and applying in Round 2.

Except that I've applied in Round 1 and have already interviewed. Wonder if this means anything. Anyone else get this email?

Got the same. My heart skipped a beat on reading the name of the sender and the subject line They should really modify the system to filter out people who have already applied.

But it's nothing more than an automated newsletter thats sent out to everyone on their mailing list. Don't read too much into it

I woke up in a haze, looked at my phone to see an email from Anderson with the title "Moving on up" and, needless to say, set a new personal best for time elapsed between waking up and getting out of bed.

Figured as much, though I hadn't received any promotional emails from them since applying, and so the head games began!

Did you send them your original degree certificate with the cover letter? Did you also send them an additional envelope to send back the degree certificate?

My application status is 'submitted' and i interviewed...

My status also says "submitted" and I interviewed. Moreover my application says incomplete because they haven't received my undergraduate transcript yet even though I know my school sent. Anyway for those with similar concern, I just called in and the office person told me it typically takes 1-2 weeks for them to process official transcripts and for that to reflect in application page.

Had my interview on 24th. It was really conversational and I almost enjoyed it. The questions were similar to what everyone here got apart from the questions that originated based on what I said.

Also I understand that interview results are processed on rolling basis. So in a scenario a candidate is admitted he would receive the admit mail sooner rather than later but if it is a reject will the same apply or the rejection mails are only send towards the end or on deadline date.

Where did you hear this from?

I don't think anyone that has interviewed yet has gotten a response, and everyone is under the impression that there is usually an early admit day in mid December, with the rest of the admits on decision day. In fact, I spoke to a current Anderson student that said he was not admitted during the early decision, but was admitted on the published decision day, and the results in the previous year's thread are consistent with this.

To clear confusion about degree and status.
My status was complete before i received interview call. After the call it was changed to incomplete as I had to send the hard copy of Transcript and degree. I sent a original copy of transcript and a attested photocopy of degree. My status was again changed to complete on the very same day they received my documents.
There is no need to send originals... attested photocopies will do the job..

My interviewer told me that the decision after interviews are processed on rolling basis. That said whatever you have stated above makes sense. I infer that there would be a batch of admits released mid December before the winter break and then maybe they will start offering the rest of the admits in January.

The rejection part that I mentioned above was my own inference. I feel considering what you shared above a decision received considerably before the date of 28th January will only be a admit.

What do you think?

That's correct. Rejections won't be released until decision day.

Keep in mind that R2 deadline for Anderson is Jan. 7th. Those getting an early admit are likely people that are either not in an over represented pool, or those that Anderson believes are at the top of their pool based on historical data. By holding off on majority of the decisions, they get a chance to see their R2 applicant base, thus comparing what they have in R1 with what they get in R2.

It's important to keep this in mind when the early admit round comes around. I've seen a much higher number of acceptances on decision day, and not getting an early admit doesn't seem to be a reflection of the candidate, but rather, it has more to do with the bigger picture and process at Anderson.

My experience was pretty consistent with this. Rejections didn't go out until the decision deadline. I believe last year, for round 1, there was an early admit day in December, and then all other admits were notified on the decision deadline. For the second round, there were multiple dates prior to the decision deadline where admits were notified, and then a group of admits were also received notified on the decision deadline. I am not sure exactly how it will work this year, but I imagine it will be similar to last year. Good luck everyone!

See at the end of of the day in my opinion there will always be grouping of the applicants. For example they would have an approximate fixed number of seats for large groups such as that of Indians and Chinese. So if an applicant gets an early admit then that means he is a preferred candidate over other candidates of the same group who get a admit at a later stage. The comparison is always among similar groups and hence even if lets say a Brazilian applicant has a less stellar profile then that of lets say a Chinese applicant, the brazilian candidate still has a better chance of making in on the account of diversity he or she brings to the class.

That said early or late, admit is an admit and in the might really not matter because all the admits start at the same stage when they are at school..

However in my situation a December admit is very important to me and will make my life a lot easier.

I don't mean to start an off-topic discussion, but aren't race-based admissions illegal? In fact Harvard has been sued by asian undergraduate applicants because of this type of situation.
