Admitted with fellowship! I'm LA based. Got the call at 10:15 am PST. She mentioned an admitted students event on 2/25.
Applied on 1/4 (R2). Invited to interview on 1/7. Interviewed on 1/13 on campus. No change in online status yet.
Congrats to the other admitted folks!! For those still waiting to hear, this is just the first batch of decisions for R2! There are still a lot of interview invitations to go out.

Wait, it's on Feb 25th? I was too excited when she was talking to remember the date haha.

Yes, it's definitely on a Wednesday. She said it's for R1 admits and some R2 admits. I assume more information will come by email or with our official letter.

I just got my call from UCLA Anderson. I live on the East Coast.
I interviewed on Jan 20 over Skype.
I did not think my interview went very well, so I was a little surprised to receive a call today. So don't lose hope if you think you screwed up your interview. You never really know!

UCLA Anderson is my No.1 choice, so I am super excited right now. :-)

Good luck everyone!

Hi, may I ask when do they receive your official transcripts? Thanks~

It looks like my application was completed on Jan 27th.

Got call this morning here in SF. Admitted with scholarship! Still got a couple interviews to go through, but this is definitely tipping the scale towards Anderson! Congrats to everyone. And yes, this was just the first wave of admits. I got my invite for R2 on 1/7 and interviewed on 1/26.

I went to Anderson for a class visit and the student who was there to welcome me told me that she applied for round 2 and got her interview invitation only in mid March. Maybe this year the adcom is working in the same way. Let's wait and see...

Given how quickly some were interviewed and accepted, it seems pretty clear that the longer it takes, the less desirable one is to the school, and the more likely the result is to be a ding.

Just seeking a little reassurance: I know that in R1, some people who interviewed within the first week or two of submitting their apps didn't get an admit until the actual decision date. Does anyone have a similar story of being admitted on April 2nd last year despite interviewing in early January?

I'm just feeling really afloat right now because I thought everything went really well but not having heard anything yesterday I'm starting to believe that I'm looking at a ding. (I interviewed Week of 1/19)

I interviewed on campus with a 2nd year student at the beginning of last week, I thought it went really well, and I sent my interviewer a 'Thank You' email the following day. But, I still haven't received a reply... It has now been 5 days since I emailed. Should I be concerned?

Has anyone else interviewed and then experienced 'radio-silence' from their interviewer?

I wouldn't read too much into that since your interviewer doesn't have insight into your full application. It probably says more about your interviewer's style than how it went. The link below was shared on the Stern page, but UCLA has the second highest acceptance rate of applicants that are invited to interview. As long as your responses matched what was in your app you probably did fine.

These rolling admissions are killer, I still haven't heard a peep from UCLA. Anyone know if they continue to send out invites into March for R2? Or if you don't hear back by end of February that's pretty much it.

Ditto on what jess wrote. I'm a round 1 applicant and had the same question a few months earlier because my interviewer didn't respond either. Needless to say, I was an early admit. It is indeed the interviewer's style, and IMO it is pretty damn rude when they don't respond. I get it that they are busy but it's so freakin' EASY to write back something generic like, "Glad you learned from and enjoyed the interview. Good luck with the rest of the admissions process!" Just take note and remember to learn from this lesson if you ever have to interview MBA prospects or job applicants later on in life. This sort of lacking in the basic common courtesy gesture department makes it seem like the interviewer is either socially inept or an arrogant prick.

Drive on, Orion17. You're good.
