At this point things are beyond my control and the adcom has to decide whether they want me or not. I gave it my best shot and until they send the ball back into my court by inviting me to an interview, I refuse to lose any sleep over it.

I was hoping a few more people would post about invites this week, but it seems pretty quiet. I wonder if we'll see a decent batch go out before Thanksgiving holiday...

Pretty quiet indeed, especially given the fact that the interview invites have been going out for 2 weeks or so. Hope that the initial invites are international-oriented. Anyone here know someone in Cali getting an invite?

I got an invite and I am from LA...hope that helps. just trying to give as much info as possible. I havent heard of anyone else though, and it seems like its a bit early to make assumptions. Last year i think there were a wave the week before thanksgiving.

LA is surely as UNinternational as it can get for UCLA!! Looks like there is no way to figure out what's going on, except for waiting patiently. Congratulations financegirl, and good luck with your interview.

Thanks for the info financegirl. Much appreciated -- and good luck!

I just received my interview invite! I submitted the night before the deadline, and fyi, my status never changed to "under review".. F, GMAT (740), 3.8 GPA, 3 yrs WE in IB, proposed focus on operations/general management. i am also in LA.

One hell of a coincidence happened today. The day I was getting concerned and asking questions to get more info from this forum is the day I get my interview invite!! Just went home and saw the invite sitting in my personal email inbox. M, 710, 3.4, 8 yrs WE in engg. cons., ST-mngt. cons., LT-gen mngt.. I am in SD. Congrats aelsc!!
