If you think about it, it's the B-schools' loss. They are losing someone who would achieve greatness some day.

Well, they can only go by what you tell them. So very often people's applications do not indicate future greatness.

Or might come across as arrogant, and off-putting. Very prevalent.

Keep in mind it is about selection not evaluation, there are a certain number of spots for people of your profile group and when they are full they are full.

it's more like they are casting a movie than evaluating if you are good enough, it's are you what they have in mind? are you what they are looking for to balance out the class. Do you add diversity.

I agree with you completely.
I've seen great people get dinged.
I do have a set of parameters that I've seen in B-Schools these days.

But it's much like, if Harvard accepted Jack Ma, avoiding his overrepresented pool and seeing passion. Guess the alumni giving, would've benefited the University. In that context, I said that it's the loss of B-School.

Couple of updates on the decision tracker indicate the invites are rolling out. Any international candidate who's heard anything so far?

Nothing on my side yet - but I saw someone from Indonesia updated decision tracker to admitted already in the last two hours? Is this possible?

Haha, has to be an other-worldly profile for sure, for a school to break decision-release protocol like that! It has to be an erroneous entry.

Even on Clear Admit, there are 7-8 interview invite updates, all from US, so I'm using that to not start freaking out already!

When does UCLA start rolling out interview invites? I have some here and there for the women weekend but nothing major. Does anyone know last year's timelines?

If you go through the posts on this thread in the past couple of days, apparently they have started rolling them out.

Lots of Interviews seem to be rolling out for US candidates. Understand they're coming out on a rolling basis, but if you are dinged from Anderson, when does this usually happen? Rolling as well?

seems like not that many invites have been rolled out yet judging from this site and others. seemed liked the biggest wave came in the last week of October in previous years right?

Also noticed that none of the international invites have been sent out yet?

yeah, from studying past years trends, I think next week we will see a high volume of invites for both us and international applicants

umadbruh and chanjaso, yep it has so far been an entirely domestic applicant invite wave, as per the data from both GMATClub and Clear Admit.

GMATClub: 6 reported invites on the decision tracker (excluding the one 'Admitted' update): 4 from the US, 1 from Canada, and 1 from Indonesia.
Clear Admit: 13 reported invites, all but one (unreported location) from the US.

Few of these are invites for the women's preview event, so pretty reasonable to assume that they have started with the Americas first and also more female applicants might have received calls first, as the preview event seems to be this weekend.

Definitely expecting to see a larger number of invites being rolled out next week. It should be quite a roller-coaster week then, considering there's a similar wave expected from Haas, and Ross decisions are also coming out on the 22nd!

Hi guys,
Once invited to interview, the adcom requires us to send our original transcript and degree to them. I have an official copy of transcripts that I can send but I have only one hard copy of my degree certificate. Is there a substitute to the degree certificate that I can send?

Hey Vdt, as far as I know, they ask for original documentation once you've been offered an admit. Have you received an interview invite communication that says you need to send those docs now?

Yes, their email says they need hard copies of the aforementioned documents within the next couple of weeks.
