Relax and don't stress out. Interviews are conducted by past and current students so it's more of a conversation than an interview.
Focus on what makes you unique and why you are currently pursuing an MBA.

See above. Plan to stay a bit after your interview to network with prospective students and go on a campus tour if you've never been to UCLA!

PKPKay - Thanks for the advice! In regards to the campus tour and networking after the interview, do prospective students just congregate somewhere to talk to each other, or is it something that is set up by the school itself? And do the tours need to be scheduled in advance?

dtn528 The interviewer will drop you off in a specific area where you can network with other candidates who just finished their interview.
The campus tour is something that the school sets up. You do not have to sign up for it, just be in that same area and you'll hear an announcement. They happen once or twice every hour.
Tours are also run by student volunteers so each experience will be unique.

Does anyone know the recommendation letter questions for the FEMBA program? Are they the same questions as the FT program?

If you don't receive a decision for R2 FEMBA, will UCLA automatically roll the application and consider it for R3?

Hey koraa,

I didn't get anything. Did you? I sent my interviewer a thank you email on the same day but never got anything back from him either...

The interviewer may be prohibited from contacting the interviewee before the decision. I personally sent a thank you message to my interviewer. I received a reply after the decision date.

Me neither. My interviewer specifically said that the AdCom will send out a thank you email in the week following super Saturday. I contacted the AdCom regarding this (as I had some follow up questions on one the clubs that she participated in), and they said they would send out the emails by this Friday.

Just got the thank you note in the mail. A short handwritten note from my interviewer and a note saying that they'll contact us shortly regarding the application status.

Wow that's quick. Congrats! I wonder what order they use to notify us. Hopefully the rest of us are notified soon too

Did your application status online change first or did you receive a call first?

Just took the GMAT and got a 660 (Q41 V40) and my GPA is sitting at about a 3.5. Not sure if I should apply to R3 or wait for a retake... Any tips?

I haven't, but I'm guessing UCLA has started distributing admits. Do they simply update the status of your application and send you a letter?

Could you please elaborate?

Were you offered an admit? If yes, did you receive any scholarship?
