I guess they are not sticking to the 3/29 date! Hope to see you in the fall!

FWIW, from my experience to date, schools rarely wait until their listed decision date to actually extend offers of admission. If you read through most of these individual school threads, you'll see that most schools typically send out offers of admission well before their deadlines.

To be honest, again drawing from personal experience, if you haven't heard anything from a school by their listed decision date, that's most likely a bad sign. No news is generally bad news in that regard. The admissions process is highly competitive for schools as well (and not just applicants), and when schools find an applicant they truly want, generally they don't waste time trying to attract them.

For R1, they gave calls the day before decision date and full updates on decision date; Anderson works this way for R1 at least the last few years. (Look back at Dec 14th posts on this thread to see the flow of elation)

Consider me mistaken on that assertion, then. Many thanks for setting the record straight, dLo.

Fingers crossed on the waitlist release decisions in the weeks ahead. Assuming those won't come down until March 28 or March 29? I've posted in the Anderson Waitlist thread, but unfortunately activity in that thread is non-existent.

I have applied on january 4th right on the deadline for round 2 and I still don't have an answer. not even a notification of denial or interview invite. Is anyone else in that case?

No. Going to say that would probably be a pretty bad idea. I can assure you that they didn't just forget about your application, and are proceeding with it exactly how they see fit.

Wow nice! Congratulations. Is that your first choice? Hoping I don't have to wait until March 29, even if it's a ding.

Quick question, one that has been on my mind recently:

Do the admit calls go out during UCLA Anderson business hours? Or do they go out regardless of time in LA?
Does anyone know the answer to this?

Thank you in advance.

R1 calls came starting around 8am PST, and I wouldn't expect them to make calls outside of like 7am-6pm PST really, but I can't say for sure.

I had my interview over skype on 26th Jan, and haven't heard anything from them since then. I also sent hardcopies of my diploma and translation after that. Still nothing.... I see people interviewed after me some heard already from the admissions.

I'm conflicted. If I get offers from Fuqua and Ross as well, then, it becomes reeeaallly interesting. Can't beat the west coast - LA and the proximity to Vegas. Also, all three schools (not the business schools, but the main university) are known for their great school spirit and sports programs (something I am really interested in experiencing).

Potentially an awesome problem to have.

All the best.

Everyone I've seen mention an actual acceptance call all reference business hours in Los Angeles (PST). Keep in mind that the acceptance calls are made by UCLA employees in Los Angeles, so no reason to think they would be at extreme, non-business hours.

Other notices, though, are all over the board. I received my interview invitation at around 7:00 p.m. PST on a Friday night. My waitlist notification e-mail came at like 2:00 a.m. PST.
