Guys, while reviewing my essays I noticed that I had the name of another b-school in one of the essays Should I stop hoping for any positive outcome out of the app process for UCLA?

damn buddy! I need some sympathy here! I guess the only thing to do is smile and hope for the best! Maybe start believing in miracles.

Not sure if it can make you feel any better, but I read it was one of the common mistakes people make on their essays. Good luck to you anyways!

Thanks for the support. Time's almost up though, 2 more days to go. I'm not holding my breath anymore....... but there's always that tiny sliver of hope...... against all logical arguments.

did you interview and are waiting for the decision or do you mean you never heard back after submitting the app, period? i heard of someone getting into ucla before even though they made that same common mistake...hope that helps!
