Article in NY Times about the focus of Southern California schools on International business.

Mods: Can I copy and paste the article on this forum? I now some forums do not allow it.
Thanks,

Travel, just post a key paragraph in quotes and you should be fine. We try not to publish the entire article here on the forum.

I applied by the round 2 deadline and today, decided to call Anderson for a status update. It turns out my application's been on hold the whole time b/c they can't read my transcript. Thanks for letting me know!! :x

What's silly is their application system wouldn't let us upload a PDF file so we had to paste images of your transcript into Word, then upload it. It sounds like they then print out a physical file to review. Well, of course our transcript's going to be illegible if you print it out that way.

Anyone else have this problem? I mailed my transcript to their office this evening and hopefully they'll get this process moving, after nearly 2 months.

i saw that some R2 admits have started to trickle in.... can any of those who were admitted in R1 or R2 comment on how long it took to get their "acceptance" email after their interview? i had my interview about 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard back from the school... it seems to me that if the interview went well i should have received an "admit" email by now... i'm getting worried... not sure if it's that UCLA takes a while or this is bad news... how long did the rest of you admits have to wait post interview? thanks

decisions are sent out near end of March. They can do an interview and turn around and admit within 10 days (from my UCLA and Haas experience), so don't worry. You still may get an interview later.

I am sorry to say this, but not replying to emails seems so typical of UCLA....
My app still says complete and has been that way for almost a month now...sent in an email. As usual...it went into that black hole never to be heard of again....:-(

Had my interview this morning with an alum off-campus. Seemed to go pretty well. All the standard questions. He was an '04 alum, pretty relaxed, laid-back guy...just gotta wait with fingers crossed now I guess.

how important do you think the interview is for UCLA? i did an offcampus one with an alum, and i thought it went decent, but not outstanding. considering its been 2 weeks and i haven't heard back, am getting worried... do you think its possible to look great on paper, have a mild interview, and still get in R2?

bobo, I wouldn't worry too much. The interviews are mainly there to make sure you're not a freakazoid, and that your story told in person is consistent with what you put on paper. Unless you totally bombed your interview, you should be fine.

hehe..... bobo, if you get paranoid waiting...that too for UCLA, be prepared to explore the heights and depths of paranoia. C'mon it is UCLA....spare a thought for the many others who like me haven't heard a thing from UCLA, since their app went complete back in Jan. Or for others like Avi who was put into the waitlist for R1 and hasn't heard from them since then...

Cheer up and feel good about it :-D
Good Luck...

Don't worry you didn't...I just wanted you to feel good about it :-D
There is always gonna be that period in the app cycle where nothing happens and the trick is to get through it without getting bogged down...

Good luck with your Apps....
There is always the little glimmer of hope...I hope things work out for you.

Cheers
