Hi folks! Welcome to UCLA's official thread. How many of you are applying to the program this year?

Posted from my mobile device

I am still thinking. In the current times, I am not sure how feasible it is to apply to any US school as an international

I wonder how many of the internationals are rethinking about applying to US business schools.

iamsiddharthkapoor mentioned something along the same lines on what he heard back from the current students. Unless you are in a top 10 Bschool with a decent scholarship, it doesn't look good

What do you think? elPatron434

These are most certainly troubling developments workout. This was something that Maria from applicant lab had put out on the askapplicantlab thread too.

The uncertainty in bagging jobs and an overall negative sentiment would appear to be a serious deterrent to most international students in my opinion. It would be interesting to see if schools extend more scholarship support to encourage international student enrollment.

This is a fascinating topic and would love to know what people think.

Did anyone reach out to Anderson regarding this? This applies to all schools but curious to see what Anderson thinks of it or any steps it is taking. Did anyone attend any webinars of Anderson?

And I think Anderson provides a very interesting case. It was, to the best of my recollection from the MBA Spotlight, the only school that had explicitly said that the deferral requests would not be entertained. Does anybody have a better idea on this?

Hi Guys, Is ielts/Toefl a mandatory requirement for International candidates ? I have a certificate from my university stating that the medium of instruction of my under-graduation was English.

Indians have to take the toefl for UC schools, unfortunately.
But you can look at it as a chance to set yourself apart at all the schools. khanna93

Hi guys, I submitted my application yesterday and was looking at my application proof (the pdf file if you click review). Career section, hours for each job I put 40. I couldn’t remember if the question asks for weekly hours or yearly. Could someone that still works on the app confirm for me? Thanks!

If nothing is mentioned, then I am pretty sure it will the number of hours per week.

Thank you for the reply! It was specified in the application, not the review pdf. Since I already submitted the app, I couldn’t go back and check. Hopefully someone who still has access to the app could reply with a definite answer.
