UCLA Anderson 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Yes... But I had submitted mine in R2 so shall I expect it after all R1's gets?

Moroever my case is entirely different than my fellow applicants. I had applied only to UCLA in r2 and will apply in r3, the round in which chances r very skim for internationals.
So UCLA acceptance can change the route of my life this year. I have put very honest and simple application, and I hope they like it. I have not done extra ordinary things in life, though I have few achievements and I have highlighted them.

Lets see how it goes..

Based on last year's thread, it looks like the last R1 interview invites went out about 2 weeks before the R1 decision release rate (mid-January, aka right around now).

R2 invites started going out at the beginning of February and continued throughout the month.

Thanks for the valuable info. So it means I should wait without any thoughts till 31st Jan at least.

Hi Gurpreet,

As other have pointed out, wait and relax ! The invites can come anytime. They will send you an email when you will be invited for interview.

All the best !

Thanks for the wishes and all the best to you too.

I m very excited

Do you always talk that much, and repeat the redundant and obvious things endlessly?

I bet you face a hard time managing those word limits. Oh wait ... UCLA word limits were made for you !

HAHA :D

I have no choice but to wait, then.

When did your application status changed to under-review. Mine still says submitted (hasnt changed since 24th Oct 2012).

Just FYI I managed my word limit pretty well. Liking my profile is not in my hand, but I gave my best shot in limited time.

@dreamchase -- that's a little harsh, IMO. Most everyone here is stressed about their applications. GC is a forum to help garner support from other members during this process; we're not here to tear other people down. Your post might be in jest, but keep in mind that this is the Internet, and with posters of various levels of English language fluency here, words and their meanings can be misconstrued.

Good luck, Gurpreet, and to everyone else still waiting for results. R1s who haven't heard yet, our time is finally coming soon!

Frankly, today was the first day when I went to the application webpage since I had submitted my application It still says "submitted"
Just hang in there.

All the best !

Same! I've already interviewed and it still says "submitted" I'm guessing it'll stay that way possibly forever? Haha.

submitted for R2.....the long wait till Feb....uhhhhhh

I guess you will hear good news around/ before next week.

A few questions for anyone with some experience regarding the topic:
I was admitted to Anderson with a fellowship, although I am not aware of the name of the fellowship (if there is one), just the amount.
Does having this fellowship on a resume offer a leg up over a standard grad? How would it compare to someone coming from a more prestigious school with no fellowship? I am WL @ GSB, SLOAN, & Haas, so I am considering all my options.
Will this fellowship be a specific fellowship or is it more of a general scholarship?
Does Anderson offer much more in the line of scholarships etc? I tried researching it on the site but I did not find many links to other aid like Haas has.

Any opinions from people who have been in similar situations? I would take the GSB without money any day of the week, but am unsure on the others.

Thanks!

First of all, congrats for your admits . People, especially in this thread, would love to be in your situation.

It is a tough call to select between good school with $$ and a top notch school without $$.
No body knows here whether you are financially strong enough to handle the loans if you go without scholarships. Since you will do the same for GSB, why not for sloan or Haas?

This answer can only be answered by you. Anderson is a top school and getting scholarship is a good deal. But if you think your future aspirations fit perfectly with other schools then go for it, even without scholarship. Just as the way you think of GSB.

In case, your aspirations can be fulfilled opting anderson too, then having $$ is a good sign. Since you did not mention the $$ amount, it is not easy to advice you.

Moral of the story is to go for the school you want, irrespective of scholarship.
If you think Haas is above anderson and you do not want to go for the school that ranks lower in some rankings, then you are evaluating with wrong means.

Go for anderson without second thought if it suits your aspirations.

Thanks for the response. A big part of the issue for me is the post grad career prospects. I would like to move into consulting while exploring entrepreneurial ventures. The GSB offers an unparalleled entrepreneurial focus, but will also allow me to transition into a consulting position at a top notch company and thus continue my learning and growth while there.
Anderson obviously does not have as much access to the top consulting firms but does place grads there....for me it comes down to whether I feel my career prospects will be hurt enough to counteract the $$$ (btw it is $60K). I feel the GSB would more than make up the difference $$, but also leave me in a position to really pursue my passion. Sloan and Haas are both great. Sloan has a great focus on entrepreneurship and Haas has a great setup for picking up great consulting skills, but with what I am looking at doing it is difficult to say if either will suit me better (the GSB is the only one I have fallen love with). Also, financing the degree is not an issue...but I still see it as an investment and will make my decision with that in mind.

The tipping point for me may be location...love California and would like to work there afterwards, so building my network in California while in school does appeal to me.
I will still pursue all the WL schools, but also want to have an idea of what I could be getting into @ Anderson vs other schools I am still considering. Another peril of the B school process.
