UCLA is the only school in the top league who says tht work experience is not a manditory requirement to get admission in the MBA course.. however i wonder .. If a person has no work exp.. then how would he answer the essay questions tht are work related ..such as responsibilities held at work etc...

and in the form where it requires one the mention the employer's name and current salary etc.. wht is one gonna reply ??

could someone kindly help me with these questions .... and yes like someone said UCLA averages the GMAt if taken more than twice is that true ?????

These are questions about paperwork.
Send them to the Department of Admissions at UCLA and do what they say and don't trust anyone else :-)
It is a job of the Department of Admissions to provide you with answers to paperwork questions.

I agree, the best route is to get the information in writing from the admissions staff at the Anderson School.

If you take it 2x, they look at both scores but consider the higher of the 2. If you take it more than 2x, they "look at all the scores", whatever that means.

UCLA:

"We will use the GMAT score you designate on the Data Form. If you do not indicate which score you would like us to use, your application will be placed on hold until you confirm with the Admissions Office which score you want to have reviewed."

https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x252.xml

"If I take the GMAT more than once, will the Admissions Committee average the scores or take the highest one?
We will see all of your scores but will take your higher score if you take the test twice. If you take the GMAT more than twice, we consider all scores, but don’t average them."
