Less than 10 days for R1 apps. Who all are ready to submit their apps in R1?
_________________

When is the MBA application due? It says October 2nd but there is no time given like the other schools have. Would it be at midnight in PST (the time zone of the school)?

Good question! I just checked previous forum discussions and according to this forum post, 11:50 PST is the latest you can submit the app. Having said that, as that forum post is old and there is no official word from the admission team about app timing, you shouldn't be waiting until the last minute to submit your app.

Hi throwaway132132,

According to UCLA Anderson's FAQ, a complete application must be submitted by 11:59 PST on the date of the deadline to be considered for admission.

Good luck!

Susan

haha well good luck with the rest of your apps! I'm done with all of mine but compared with last two years, this forum is still suspiciously quite

hey everyone! Does anyone know when interview decisions come out?

Judging from last few years it seems like by mid October they start reaching out for interviews and it extends all the way to December.

Based on conversations and historical data, I think we can expect first round of interviews to come out in the next few days. Good luck everyone!

I received an email today inviting me to interview at the Womenanderson weekend only if I'm able to commit to both days of the event. Otherwise, it says "we will contact you about interviewing through the regular process at a later time."

Not sure if that means I was selected to interview regardless of whether I attend the event but it reads that way. Anyway, figured I would share as a data point. Good luck to all!

Hi everyone, current Anderson first year here.
I benefited tremendously from the GMATClub community during my applications and I am happy to be a resource for any questions that you may have.
Good luck with your applications.

Congratulations! Definitely looks like an interview invite, just the matter of scheduling it.

Good to know that invites have started rolling out, let's hope they get to the regular process soon!


_________________

When should we expect interview invites to start rolling out? This week?

Historically it has been on a rolling basis starting around now. I have seen on clearadmit that there have been a couple interviews out already, but not sure if these are all related to the women's weekend event.

I'm still waiting on mine at this point in time (quite skeptical about Anderson with my GPA, but fingers crossed!)

I applaud this attitude. I think too often people get stuck on one school and then spiral into some kind of depression if they don't get into that one school, when they just have no control over who else is applying and honestly its the luck of the draw sometimes. Best to approach this as an overall campaign rather than a romantic relationship.
