@LAMBA: Notices were actually very early, most were notified before the holidays around the 2nd week of December. Note, official notification date was slated for Feb 2. But... they told us at the super saturday they were trying to get to everyone b4 the holidays. Round 2 likely has more applicants so I'm not sure if it'll be early like round 1 was.

Hello folks,

Take this for what it is, but I know how waiting sucks, for those of you in R2 that are still waiting. I just checked the invite site, and there are no more open slots, and they go up to 3/17. Again, anything can happen, but I just wanted to give as much info as possible for those you are still on pins and needles.

Good luck to everyone.

Thanks thelamb0508. My status is still "Your application is ready for committee review". Seems like the end of the game but I refuse to give up.... waiting!

No point in giving up. Your status has not changed. No news is good news in that case. Stay positive! Not sure if any R1 candidates got dinged without a status change.

My status literally just changed 30 minutes ago. Guess I should wait and see if I'll get an invite today.

I received my interview invite, but could not schedule an interview due to the lack on interview slots. I talked to Connie and she is going to add some interview slots today. So, all those who are waiting, hang in there, there is still hope!!!!

Does no status change until the deadline mean a rejection? Did anyone from 1st round experience this? Thanks!

Just received my interview invite as well! Like you mentioned, there are no more on campus interview slots left. Does anyone know if there is a difference interviewing on campus vs. off campus? Does it affect your chances? I've read in the forum that on campus interviews are often conducted by 2nd year students. What about off campus interviews? I'm assuming alumni?

They're weighted the same, and I didn't get penalized for choosing off campus even though I only live two hours from UCLA. Go with what's more convenient for you--if it's off campus, you'll be matched up with an alumni near your location.

Thanks for that piece of information. Very helpful. I'm just a short plane ride away but would prefer to interview off-campus.

This is what the Anderson application FAQs says:
"Interviews are by invitation only. If you are selected for an interview, you will be notified after the admissions committee has done a preliminary review of your application, which could be at any time during the admissions round. If you cannot come to campus for the interview then one will be arranged with a UCLA Anderson alumnus/alumnae in your location. All candidates being considered for admission will be interviewed, but an interview is not a guarantee of an offer. There is no difference between interviews conducted on-campus or off-campus, as all interviewers are trained to evaluate communication skills, focus, reasoning, passion, and understanding of the opportunities that a UCLA Anderson MBA provides."

I would say that the only difference between doing it on campus or off is that if you go there you might have more to say about why Anderson. Also, it's less likely that there will be any curve ball questions. There was at least one person on this forum who had a pretty bad experience with an alum. However, for everyone else, it seems like it was very relaxed, w/ basic questions whether it was on campus or off.

Personally, I flew from the midwest and interviewed on campus with a 2nd year student. Same thing to say about the interview as everyone else. I'm really glad I went to see the school and meet people, but I only applied to 2 schools and I had never been to LA. So I figured I should go. It shouldn't impact you negatively to do it with an alum.

Call and let admissions know you'd like to interview on campus...I'm sure they can arrange an interview.

Decision date of UCLA is 30th March. So, I think they would be sending most of invites till about 15th March. After that, there is a little time to go through all procedures.

I've had a status change for a while now without any invite.

Personally, I feel my stats are good- 700 GMAT, 26 years old with 4 years of management experience, including operations management in which I led up to 30 employees at any given time. I've worked at a Fortune 100 corporation, speak Japanese, worked internationally... I know things are subjective, and I know admissions is more complicated than just picking good resumes, so I'm not saying I should absolutely be admitted but...I'm confused that I haven't at least received an interview invite yet. :cry:

Keep your head up, there's still a couple more weeks. My status just changed today..

Sometimes it's not just about how good you are but how you would fit with the rest of your class. My friend applied two years with a 760, 3.8 from a top school, 4 years in management consulting, pretty good ECs and got dinged from all his schools. Now he's going to CBS. The year he applied was just too tough and there were just too many like him. Also, it comes down a lot to personality and fit. Many of these schools are small, they want people who would work well together. Either way, good luck!
