this admissions wave brings % applicants admitted in R2 to R1 admission rate of 18%.

I expect the next wave be close to 2 April, for applicants interviewed in March.

I wouldn't write off January invites or February interviews. There were people admitted yesterday who were interviewed well before the last two rounds of admits, so there's no indication they're moving through application in interview order. If no more February interviewers are being admitted, that would make a 36% acceptance rate for Late January invites, which is too far short of last year's 75%. Looking at last year's thread, acceptance definitely did not follow interview order at all. There also wasn't a fourth wave between mid-March and April, so I don't expect to hear back until April 2.

Just an aside, there were people last year who received interview invites on January 7, didn't hear back until April 2, and still received scholarships. Interview order matters for the earliest wave because most people hadn't interviewed yet. But ever since the March 2 wave, they've had almost the entire pool to work with and are probably admitting people in a closer to random order.

Let me be more precise: I am expecting the next wave be close to 2 April, for applicants interviewed in January, February and March.

So, even though I didn't get the call yesterday, I got the email overnight! No missed calls, was not out of coverage, no voicemail, so quite puzzling but I am thrilled!

Based on the interview acceptance rate of R1, there are 11 remaining spots for the 41 remaining unaccepted applicants. So it looks like if you haven't gotten accepted yet, there's only a 25% chance you will be.

Got the decision email. Is there a separate email for scholarship/fellowship offers ?

I second this question... I wasn't able to get a hold of the guy who left my voicemail, so all I have is my acceptance email from last night.

Looking back at the comments from the early R2 admits,
it seems like they were notified of their scholarship/fellowship offer during the call.
I guess I did not get any...
My admit letter also did not mention anything about financial aid.
Can early admits who got scholarship/fellowship offers confirm this?

I can confirm that they told me about a Fellowship over the phone, and then I got a separate email with fellowship details apart from the standard acceptance email.

Same here, fellowship was confirmed on the phone and on the following day, I received two back to back emails, one was the acceptance email and the other was concerning my fellowship. Admitted on March 3rd R2.

I also received a large envelope in the mail two days ago which contained my formal letter of acceptance, letter of fellowship, and some UCLA Anderson literature. :-D

Congrats to all the new admits!!

Yep, I estimate around 15 (+/- 5) people getting admitted on April 1st-2nd as well.

Either way, I'm not feeling great about my own chances. I thought the interview went pretty well, enough to put me near the top of the pile, but my interview was on Feb 9 and I haven't heard back yet. Chances that they haven't made a decision on my application by now are slim.

My very unscientific theory is that the "strong" applicants (however you quantify that) were the first to get invites, following which the adcom divides us into piles of definite yeses and maybes. The yeses get admitted in the early waves, while the maybes get compared to the rest of the maybes. They probably need to wait till more people are interviewed to do this kind of a comparison, so I'm guessing that's why people who interviewed early might not have heard back yet.

My take back from this? There's no guessing. Compared to the rest of the maybes, you might be a star but it all depends on who you're competing against. Factor in which country/industry/whatever you're from and who Anderson needs for a diverse class, it becomes even more unpredictable. So while I'd probably feel the same if I were you, you never know until you know right? I think your chances are as good as anyones. Hope for the best and steel yourself for the worst. At least, that's what I'm doing :)

I like your reasoning man!
It seems quite reasonable for me and explains me why I was offered to interview later in the process.
I feel my interview was not so good, but I hope for best!

Not sure if this is where I ask a question like this, but...

Am I rejected? I never even got an interview after applying R2... and have heard no updates whatsoever. This is really quite shocking to me seeing as I am local and very competitive GMAT (740) / GPA (3.6) from a great school. I'm extremely bummed out about this because this was one of my top choices.

I should say I applied really close to the R2 deadline, but I doubt that matters at this point. So bummed out...
