People usually get an interview invite within 24-48 hrs of status change. If not then it probably means a ding

Just out of curiosity...is there a concrete reason that we are assuming this? I know a number of posters on this site have reported this pattern, but to be fair we represent only a portion of all applicants.

Have there been any confirmations from Admissions?

Thanks!

Most things in this entire forum is only based on speculations. There is no confirmation from adcom and there will be none. they will just tell you that invitations are still going out. honestly, you will only get real solid proof when either get an invite or wait for the final date.

Did all of you talking about 'status changes' apply directly to Anderson? Because I applied via the Consortium and I have never heard of any avenue to check my status (which might be a good thing because I would probably obsess over it and refresh the page every hour on the hour).

I applied through the consortium but signed up for a logon on my own. It shows the same status as everyone else but I did my interview 3/25. I don't know when it changed for me.

Hi guys,

I am an international applicant and had my R2 interview a few days back. I have a doubt here - The deadline for filling 'Need Access' application is 15th April for Round 1 and Round 2 applicants who will be requiring financial aid. Are we supposed to fill it after an admit or can we fill it now itself before the results ? Also does it mean we won't be considered for any scholarships unless we fill it ?
Would be great if someone could clarify.

Thanks !!

Thanks a lot for the info. I had also created an account with 'Need Access'. Haven't filled yet. It mostly asks about applying for loans. Will do that. Interview went ok. Sort of standard questions only. How was it for you ?

Hey MetabolismMaster,
Did you hear back right on the date given on the Anderson site? Just curious.

Thanks.

Wow. I'm assuming you applied RD1. May I ask why you declined? Was it not your first choice? Did you get any reward money/fellowship? What were your stats and did you interview if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry if it sounds like I'm interrogating, but this is my #1 school and I interviewed last week but haven't heard a word :?

No problem. I decided to attend MIT Sloan. I really liked UCLA, but my post-MBA goal is VC/entrepreneurship in the biotech industry, so overall, MIT Sloan was the best fit. I did get money from UCLA ($60K), and considering I didn't get anything from Sloan, declining the Anderson offer was extremely difficult. BTW, I could give you my stats, but in all honesty, stats are just checkmarks. It's really about the essays, letters, and class diversity, etc. FYI, my scores (GPA and GMAT) were above UCLA's median (3.6+ and 720+).

Thanks, and best of luck to you. Sounds like you're on the right path (picking the right school over the $$$).

I had my interview yesterday and I think it went great. We landed up talking about Anderson for almost an hour and the alum seemed very excited to share his experiences. My father went to Anderson in the 60's so when I mentioned that he seemed genuinely interested ( hope that is a good sign). The only big concern/ question that he had for me was that since I have only 2 years of experience in what ways have I prepared myself for an MBA.. Good thing I had prepared for this question.We then talked a lot about early vs mid-career MBA. I very much enjoyed my interview.
