Just got the interview invite via portal update a couple of hours ago.
They are asking for official transcript and diploma. I think an email from school with these docs would be enough right?
Just want to confirm that hard copies are not required. Can someone confirm?
The mail itself says that the documents can be sent electronically via the issuing University. So yeah email would do.

If you are from India, then it is mandatory. Doesn't matter what the medium of instruction of your college is.
This is mostly valid for all California-based universities. Nothing the school can do.

I haven’t even started prep for it. How much time did you take to give it?

Is it advisable to mail the adcom for an extension on the TOEFL requirement?

Also, what is the diploma certificate they require?

which round are you applying for?

I emailed the adcom asking for an extension to give my IELTS as I had it scheduled before the application deadline but couldn’t give it for a few reasons. So submitted my application under Round 1 without IELTS score, later gave the test and updated my application with the scores.

I made the mistake of assuming I’d be exempt because of English being my medium of instruction and evaluation on my transcripts. For all other schools I’ve applied to this has been the case

Here’s what you should do now. Schedule IELTS first for the nearest date possible. It should be fairly easy to crack assuming you got an interview invite. You can update then adcom with the scores once you have them. But since it’s mandatory, there’s no escaping from it. So better do it now.

They mentioned in the invite that it needs to be sent within 15 days of receiving the invite. Do you think I’ll be able to finish prep and give the exam and have the official scores ready to send in that time period?

If you have prepared for either GMAT or GRE, then IELTS or TOEFL either should be a cakewalk. You can take TOEFL as I found it pretty easy and took it at home. You can book for a test even two days from now. So you can easily send the score within 15 days.

I would suggest giving the TOEFL within the next 2 days - mark UCLA Anderson as one of the test recipients.
The scores should directly reach them within 10-15 days max, so shouldn't be a problem.
I gave the TOEFL unprepared as well and scored pretty well. If you've given the GRE/GMAT, you wouldn't find it daunting in the least

All the best!

Any idea if more interview slots would open up? Currently all of them have times of around 1:30 PM PT to 5 PM PT :/
