How were y'all's interview experience? My alum interview was really unpleasant. She really seemed to be phoning it in--had clearly not even looked at my resume and asked very generic questions already covered in the app. Also rushed me out after 30 mins. Didn't wish me luck or anything at the end, and didn't even acknowledge my thank-you e-mail after. I guess that could have just been her "style," but I thought it was rude and not at all informative. Definitely my least favorite interview!

mbabiden, although I don't know 100% for sure about UCLA, but almost always interviews are conducted blind, which means they do not get to look at your application at all. This is pretty much the case for all alum interviews.

That would be the reason why they ask generic questions, they are trained to ask certain questions to make sure that the interviews are consistant from interview to interview. As for the Thank-you e-mail, you can find threads on that throughout the forums, sometimes they reply, more often they don't reply.

Should I officially be worried at this point if I haven't heard from Anderson yet?

Same question here.

This thread has been awfully quiet lately. Is hope lost for those without invitations?

For those still hoping for an interview invite like me, Mae Jennifer Shores says on her Twitter that they are still sending invites. So take that for what its worth...

FYI I checked with the admissions office and they are out on holiday between 12/21/2009 and 1/1/2010 so don't hold your breath during those two weeks.

The first post needs to be updated for R2. The R2 deadline according to the website is Jan 6th. I'm putting together the recommendation documents and haven't started on the essays. Good thing I checked the website!

Did you get the impression that any more R1 invitations will go out?

I got the impression that they will review applications and extend invites until they go on vacation on 12/21/2009. After that it might be a lost cause. Likely closing in on the last stack of applications here.

Thinking about r2, but the app seems pretty difficult with the video and all.
