I haven't recieved any update yet as welk, I don't know if it's already to late to recieve an interview invite, does anybody here knows if we can still recieve an invitation next week or on January? Does last year applicants recieved invitations by January as well?

It's not too late. Based on last year's recruiting cycle, interview invitations slowed down in December due to final exams (for second year interviewers) and the winter break university closure. People started to get interview invites again in early January. You could also get waitlisted and receive an invitation on the decision release date.

I've sent an email to Adcom to ask about the situation. Actually we are in the same boat. However they just said some "official" words like we appreciate your patience...... we are still sending out interview invitations etc.... But how can it be soooo long.... I got other interviews less than a month from the day I submitted my application...

It's a numbers game :?

Like a few others mentioned on here, I'm pretty sure the adcom folks are waiting to see what the applicant batch from Round 2 looks like before either making final calls on acceptances or sending out late interview invites. Another node that might determine more interview invites is the feedback they receive from the early acceptances coming up this week. My guess is they are sending this out to select applicants with super stellar (on paper) or underrepresented backgrounds (or combination of both). Frankly, those are the same types of applicants that will have multiple offers from other top tier schools, and UCLA may not be the #1 option on their list. I wouldn't be surprised if the matriculation rate from the early acceptance applicants is much lower than the matriculation rate from those accepted regularly as scheduled. I see this as a tactic to entice candidates that adcom people really want from other schools that already released their acceptances in December.

Just my quick analysis. I worked for a division where we did something vaguely similar i.e. screening, vetting, and selecting out of ~50,000 candidates per year based on some combination of arbitrary metrics, ethnic/gender backgrounds, peculiar stories, nepotism, etc.

Hope this help.

Looks like FEMBA admits went out yesterday. Congrats to those admitted.

This year's admits came out much later than last year, so no idea what it means for us waiting on early admit calls.

Since applications are reviewed in the order they were submitted, I'm guessing interview invites also follow the same order. So it might be helpful to know if anyone who applied at the VERY last minute (6 hours of less before the deadline) has received an interview invite. That might tell us if all applications have been reviewed, or the process is still on.

Just a thought. Good luck to everyone!

Best of luck to everyone waiting for interviews and admits! For those that are waiting anxiously, we are finishing up finals tomorrow, so the early batch of admits should come shortly after.

Not sure if this is representative, but I submitted 1.5 hours before the deadline and received an invitation 13 days later. It could be because I'm coming from a less represented DC/nonprofit background. Hope this helps.

Last year I got an email at midnight PT and then a phone call a little before noon. I believe scholarship info is given with the phone call.

I submitted a few hours before the deadline as well. Got an interview call in about 10 days and am now waiting (and hoping to hear from them sooner than January!) :)
