Are there any applicants who have interviewed and DIDNT receive a decision during the 'early decision' batch that have received an update?

I interviewed on December 10th and didnt receive any notice before the holidays - should I assume that means my decision is a ding?

After a loooooong wait, got the invite..

Am opting for off-campus.

ANy idea as to what should be the attire for skype interview.
I think, they'll ask me for a skype one..

Probably best to sport some bed head and pajamas. Maybe a ratty shirt you sleep in.

Okay but really, just go with a suit like you would for a normal interview. Treat it exactly the same.

Hehe..Thanks for your advice :)

Hello,
I just gave GMAT and scored 640 on gmat. I have 8 years of software engineering experience. Do you think I should apply for FEMBA program at UCLA or should I retake GMAT and try to get a higher score? Any advice?
Show more

If you think you can do better, definitely re-take.... I got a 640 the first time around and with a little of final test prep (adjusting the speed in order to answer every question) a month later I got a 710.

I thought it was good enough, but admissions have not been easy anyway. So I would definetly retake if I were you.

maybe you can self report and then send the transcripts..

or you can apply with the 640 and then submit the new score.

I would definetly look into retaking...i got a 710, 4 years civil engineering in spain, 3.5 gpa and have gotten dinged from booth, waitlisted for kellogg and not been invited for interview yet by UCLA or Haas....IDK if I reallly messed up my essays or something but, If I were you I would definetly think about retaking...plus they like to see that you´ve tried more than once.

just my opinion though

i just called anderson's office to ask about R1 interview invites. they said they are "still evaluating R1 candidates and will continue to send out invites." when i asked when they will give out their final interview, they said "there is no definite deadline and it's an ongoing process".

according to their jan 3 blog post (https://mbablogs.anderson.ucla.edu/mba_a ... 12--1.html): "We are wrapping up our round 1 files and will continue to invite applicants to interviews over the next few weeks".

so from this info, people from R1 without invites yet (including myself) should not be considered dinged...yet. but with final decision deadline in about 2 weeks (jan 25), i don't see much time left for them to give out invites.

each case is different, but essays are most important

I have a 2.9 and a 650 GMAT and also got waitlisted at Kellogg and got an interview invite for anderson.

just make sure you tell your story in your essays

Yeah, the way I see it, they are not going to tell you "the last invite will be sent on Wednesday" because that's effectively giving a whole bunch of people their decisions two weeks before the official decision date. I suspect what you heard from them was the official party line - everyone is still in the game until Jan 26. Call me a pessimist but I'm writing off Anderson.

Does Anderson wait list candidates who haven't interviewed yet and give them a chance to update profiles and/or interview? (Haas does this, maybe some other programs do too.) Anyone know?

Glad to hear that more invites went out this week.
