East coast applicant here heading out to LA for my R2 interview this Saturday. I've never been to LA so does anyone have any suggestions on places I should make sure to see or things I should definitely do while I'm out there to get a good sense of life in LA? If admitted, I'm not sure I'd be able to swing another trip out west for admitted students weekend, so I want to make sure I can get a good feel this time out.

I don't think we should worry at all (I interviewed on 2/7). Based on forum posts last year, it looks like they had one or two batches of admit invitations go out, and then a majority of admits were given on the final notification date. However, also looks like that those initial batches came out much later, I think in March. And the admissions blog says that they will continue to release batches, I'm guessing will be on Fridays, until the final date.

Funny how a logical statement from a person who is going through the same process can be so comforting. Best of luck to you!

I received my Rd2 call / email on Friday. Haven't seen anything regarding scholarship info. Should I assume I didn't receive anything or has anyone heard of people hearing a week or two after their admit?

Check your spam folder just in case? Mine came from "Ji Choi".

I was admitted R1 on the result day and had interviewed before/around the same time as others who were notified of their admits early. I wouldn't worry about it.

I was invited to interview just a few hours after I was waitlisted.
Interviewed a week later (via Skype), and didn't hear anything since.

I guess i was the only one who was interviewed before being wait-listed. So I havent heard from admissions for ages.

Like freetz, I was invited to interview a few hours after being waitlisted on the R1 decision date as well. I had my on-campus interview last week on 2/14. No word from admissions yet.

From previous year's threads, it looks like Anderson is pretty good about getting back to waitlisters 2-3 weeks after they interview. However, last week I spoke with a current student who was waitlisted in R1, again in R2 then finally got admitted around (not on) the R3 decision date...

Are interview invites/notifications still going out for R2 applicants? I'm an R2 applicant from India and I haven't heard anything yet. Anyone else in the same position?

Interviewed before wait listed. We Probably won't hear back till April so there will be plenty of time to get all those thousands in other deposits in before we hear anything! Haha wait list is rough.

Yep. Looks like we might be cutting checks to Marshall in a couple of weeks...

Seriously, 2500 is quite a chunk of change too. Curious, isn't Marshall supposed to be the better program for entrepreneurship? Assuming you would continue in that field and got into Anderson AND those were the 2 schools you were deciding between, do you know which you would choose?

I just got an email "Round 2 MBA Applicant Update". It was just a normal update to let me know that they are still evaluating the applications.
Did any one else too receive such email?
