Ok I just got back from my interview on campus...
Thankfully 405 wasn't a parking lot
Here's the debrief...
I interviewed with the Associate Director of Admissions
Very conversational and straight forward.
1) Resume walkthrough and why MBA
2) Short and long term goals
3) Why strategy consulting
4) Why Anderson
5) Teamwork example
6) An area I wanted to improve on when at Anderson
7) What I hope to gain at Anderson
8) What clubs I plan to be a part of
9) What activities outside of work/study will I be a part of
10) My questions for her:
1) Plans to revamp the core curriculum
2) Placements for Internationals
3) Questions on CA residency => I qualify on all aspects except that when I join I'll be switching my status to a student and that disqualifies me....why oh why
4) Given the sharp increase in app volume...are they seeing a trend regarding an increase in a specific applicant pool.(She said internationals were definitely up)
Half hour...done
The campus, needless to say, is awesome and buzzing with activity. Loved it...
Now the wait...to see if they show me some love
Hey kk, out of curiosity, what did she say about placement for internationals? From my understanding ucla is rather weak in that area, so I would be interested in finding out. Thanks.
