I found UCLA Anderson a perfect fit for me just as one can find a perfect soulmate. The more I read about it the more I feel we are made for each other
I will apply in R2 and I m yet to start with my essays. The time is less and the work is more. Those who have already cracked the applications, could you please give some tips or highlight your experience?
Thanks

When will they start sending interview invitations?

If you look at the past few pages of this thread, you'll see that invites have already started to come out.

In that case till when should i expect for a call?

UCLA sent out an email recently which had a bit about interviews:

"Application update: We are well underway with reading Round 1 applications and intend to send out most of our interview invitations before year's end"

Got an interview invite last night. Any particular advice for Anderson interviews? Are Skype interviews taken by admissions team or career management team?

Since the admission is on rolling basis, I fear near the r2 deadline most of the seats would be filled.

Do they give confirmation too before deadline?

congrats, what is your background?

I think last year there was an early decision batch by 20 dic, is that correct? Does anybody know about this and whther this year will be another one?

I had my interview earlier this week -- similar to stayfrosty's experience, my interview was really normal. No unexpected questions. Just know your resume and why Anderson. Overall, it was much more conversational than I expected, though that could have just been my interviewer's style.

Good luck to those who are have scheduled their interviews, and to those still waiting for invites. There's still lots of time left.

Which street is this coming off of? Sounds like you're picking it up from the rumor mill.

Alpaca - Its at the intersection of "you don't have to listen to me" and "we'll have to wait to find out anyways" .... Just sharing the info I have buddy.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well here. I was being a funny guy.

The wait is killing me!

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado

Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around.

Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]
