I believe most people who have admits have 760+ GMAT. Correct me if I am wrong or if there are exceptions?

We are excited to inform you that we have recommended you for admission to UCLA! Our MBA Admissions Committee has carefully evaluated your application, and we think you will be a great addition to our community. Due to the diligent processes we have in place, the university is still currently working on its final review and approval. Accordingly, while we cannot give you an official decision just yet, we want you to know your current status on decision release day. We apologize for this delay and appreciate a grace period on issuing the final decision for your application. Timing is subject to variables but we will keep you updated and let you know about next steps as soon as possible. Many thanks for your patience and understanding, and please stay tuned! Sincerely yours

Received the same message. Not sure what to make of this and by when can I expect the final decision.

I got a call yesterday from an admissions officer to clarify the situation. He basically said as UCLA is part of the wider UC system, all acceptance recommendations made by the Anderson admissions committee need to be submitted to the wider UC Graduates Studies department for approval.

He said they sent a big batch over and for bureaucratic reasons it’s taking longer than usual. He expects it will take 3-5 business days for things to get turned around.

$120,236 is an estimate for only the first year. The second year estimate will be close to $100,000 because you won’t have to pay for the Anderson onboarding summer

Oh, thanks. If you don’t mind me asking was it an accept/reject? Just curious if people are getting rejected after this point as well.

We request all the admits to briefly share their profile details like test scores, GPA, location, scholarship, goals etc in our new decision tracker at the following link. You can add your details anonymously. https://gmatclub.com/forum/decision-tra ... ister.html

It would be a great resource for prospective applicants to see all the admit profiles and get an idea about what type of profiles can get into Anderson. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Hi all,

Was accepted to Anderson and am super excited about it. However, I received no sort of scholarship. Did receive $30K a year to Tepper and a full ride to Kenan-Flagler as well. Have researched and heard that Anderson is pretty firm when it comes to scholarship negotiation but multiple people have told me to still try. Was wondering thoughts on negotiating with Anderson and if the best contact would be the AdCom that emailed me regarding my acceptance or to reach out to the MBA admissions email or financial aid? Thanks for any input.

Unless you want to stay in Los Angeles would pick Tepper most likely

please i would like to find out, for those who got admitted in round 1 or probably round 20 and has gotten their i20. what was the total amount that was listed in the i20 please

Waitlisted in R2, but got an email just now saying I am invited for interview. I provided no updates after being waitlisted

Any idea if this is common?

For an international is it worth going through the process if the final decision is only in mid-May? Especially since UCLA is asking to send in original transcripts/degree copies...lol

You got waitlisted without interview! That’s strange to me. I got waitlisted after my interview. Lol
