Calling USC MBA.PM and UCLA FEMBA 2011 Applicants!!

Congratulations!!

I am re-applicant and I applied yesterday, not sure how much capacity they have left.

thanks abinasaran ...

Did you app to USC ?

No I did not, just UCLA FEMBA

Hi socalmba, I would definitely be interested in attending a meetup!

Cool. Once we get enough people, we'll do a small meet and greet. I have already done two of them for the new entrants.

For now, I highly recommend USC's new entrants to join this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=gro ... 33517&ap=1

Let me know if you guys have any questions

Hi Friends,

Anyone, from any round, who has been placed on USC MBA.PM wait-list and got admitted later?

Desperately need to know what extra work you have done to turn around your status.

Thanks,
Brandon

@Barista,

I was wait listed.

I re wrote my gmat but that didnt improve my score much and I got another reco from my director and I emailed saying how strongly i was interested in the program ..

Best of luck

I am sure u ll be fine

Hi,

I've already been accepted the USC MBA.PM program, but I'm still waiting for a decision from UCLA's FEMBA program. Anyone else waiting on a decision from UCLA? I applied during R3, but unfortunately wasn't able to make it to the interviews.

RC

I m in the same boat ....

I still haven't paid the 1500 deposit ... I have been waitlisted at ucla since R2

Hi All

This is my first post to this forum though I am following it from the beginning.

I am in SFO working as a R&D Engg with 8 years of IT experience.

I have applied to UCLA FEMBA R3 and still waiting for the results.

I am a bit worried as I have relatively low GMAT. DO you think I have some chance

Stats
GMAT 680 (Q 48, V 34)
GPA 3.3
Reco (Both reco from UCLA alums)
My brother is also part of 2013 FEMBA batch

Hey ...

U have a good chance ... I have lesser gmat than u and have been waitlisted. Have u wondered about the dynamics of attending classes though ... ?

Yes I did. I plan to attend Saturday all day classes (If I get through). Will take Saturday early morning flight and then evening flight back .

I know at least 10 ppl who are doing FEMBA from SFO

Seems like a lot of us in the same boat......Good luck all hopefully decisions come sooner rather than later

I was admitted to USC's MBA.PM program, but the first "mandatory" weekend takes place on the same weekend I am getting married. When I called USC to enquire about what to do regarding this conflict, they basically told me I should either change the date of my wedding (not an option) or not attend this year's program.

I cannot imagine a pre-fall 1.5 unit class is SOO important that I couldn't miss 2 out of 6 days and still be able to manage. Obviously, I would prefer to be able to make it the whole weekend, as I imagine this is when many people will form groups and make friends, etc. However, I would be able to make it all day on Friday, miss Saturday (for wedding) and then make it at least most of the day on Sunday.

Regardless, I have been wait-listed for UCLA's FEMBA program and I am hoping that I get accepted, but I have not heard anything yet.

Does anyone know if UCLA has a similar mandatory pre-fall class that weekend (July 30th)? I hope not for my sake!

My brother is current FEMBA student at UCLA. He told me for this year the mandatory classes will be
August 30 – September 3, 2011.

Hello all,

Has anyone heard of any movement from FEMBA? I had to put down the $1500 deposit for USC and am dying to hear from UCLA.
