1. Please provide us with a summary of your personal and family background. Include information about your parents and siblings, where you grew up, and perhaps a highlight or special memory of your youth. (Limit to 2 pages.)

2. Discuss a situation, preferably work related, where you have taken a significant leadership role. How does this event demonstrate your managerial potential? (Limit to 1 page.)

3. Discuss your career goals. Why are you seeking an MBA degree at this particular point in your career? Specifically, why are you applying to UCLA Anderson? (Limit to 2 pages.)

4. (Optional) Is there any other information that you believe would be helpful to the Admissions Committee in considering your application? If you feel the application already represents you well, do not feel obligated to answer this essay question.

Please note
UCLA takes highest GMAT between two attempts, if more then two attempts taken they take average

UCLA is the only school in the top league who says tht work experience is not a manditory requirement to get admission in the MBA course.. however i wonder .. If a person has no work exp.. then how would he answer the essay questions tht are work related ..such as responsibilities held at work etc...

and in the form where it requires one the mention the employer's name and current salary etc.. wht is one gonna reply ??

could someone kindly help me with these questions .... and yes like someone said UCLA averages the GMAt if taken more than twice is that true ?????

These are questions about paperwork.
Send them to the Department of Admissions at UCLA and do what they say and don't trust anyone else
It is a job of the Department of Admissions to provide you with answers to paperwork questions.

I agree, the best route is to get the information in writing from the admissions staff at the Anderson School.

congrats on UCLA. One of my friends is headed there as well. What were you stats, if you don't mind...

If you take it 2x, they look at both scores but consider the higher of the 2. If you take it more than 2x, they "look at all the scores", whatever that means.

UCLA:

"We will use the GMAT score you designate on the Data Form. If you do not indicate which score you would like us to use, your application will be placed on hold until you confirm with the Admissions Office which score you want to have reviewed."

https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x252.xml

"If I take the GMAT more than once, will the Admissions Committee average the scores or take the highest one?
We will see all of your scores but will take your higher score if you take the test twice. If you take the GMAT more than twice, we consider all scores, but don’t average them."
