Applying from London, I submitted my application on 2-Oct and got invited to interview on 16-Oct. Did the interview yesterday - will post on debrief tab.

Has anyone else had problems getting official copies of transcripts and certificates? My university are saying it will take 3-4 weeks! Also my application still says they have not received my GMAT score..?

Good luck to everyone interviewing and waiting for responses! :thumbup:

Are people receiving rejection letters as well or are they only communicating the invites so far?

I also submitted mine on 2nd October but nothing so far.

Same. I submitted Oct 1 and have not heard anything. The status of my application page has not changed, it doesn't even say anything like "under review." Fingers crossed we both hear something good soon.

Thanks for the input. For those who have not interviewed yet or heard back - does your application status page say anything? My application does say submitted when I login and then I click on it and the actual status page doesn't say anything. I have green checks for all my materials. I guess I just need to stay put and patient.

Thank you for posting your debrief here https://gmatclub.com/forum/anderson-187 ... brief.html

I have one question for you. Does the applicant need to show the passport as a proof to the interviewer?

Yes you need to show some sort of photo ID at the beginning of the Skype to prove who you are - there should be more details on your interview invite

Hey guys!
Just had my Skype interview yesterday. It was led by a second year student at Anderson. It was really conversational and the interviewer was super friendly.
The total interview was 30 minutes to the clock. The first 25 minutes she asked me questions and the last 5 minutes, I asked her some questions about UCLA.
The questions were:
1- Tell me about yourself
2- Why Mba? Why now? Why Anderson?
4- My career goals are in the intersection of Finance & Tech. She asked, if admitted to anderson, which courses I will focus more on ( Tech or Fiannce)
3- Tell me about a time you had to convince someone at work
4- Which role I play working in teams

Overall I found the interview to be quite warm and conversational.
Good luck everyone!

I believe rejections come along with the final decisions itself.

Sorry, I didn't really understand what you meant. Do you mean it is basically a rejection for whoever hasn't gotten an invite so far?

Interview invites were not reported during this period in previous years. Also, Rejects/Waitlists (With and without interviews) were released along with the admits last year.

Has anyone sent a thank you note after a Skype interview? I don't have my interviewer's email ID, and to get it off of LinkedIn would probably come off as stalking at this point.
