Anyone have an idea of how rigid they are about getting recs in before the deadline? The submission page makes it sound like there is no leeway, but I'm hoping that there is because one of my recs won't get finished until tomorrow. (got everything else set to go)

EDIT: Answer is that it depends. If the rec comes in after the deadline but before they start reviewing then there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Alternatively, if the rec doesn't come in before they start reviewing, then it's likely that they will review the app without the rec and either make an interview/ding decision or, if the application is borderline, wait for the rec to show. Sensible.

Hi guys, I just want to ask whether any of you asks for a recommendation form community service. Or do you think UCLA only favors LOR from working setting? Thanks!

Ok to be clear, my job is kind of my community service as well (I work for an non-profit and volunteer with them as well) so my recos fortunately include both.

Having said that I think that if you think that your community service experience is substantial (i.e you have worked with a non-profit for a while and/or worked on some significant projects) I would say go for a community service reco. But just make sure to explain to your recommender that they need to highlight your personal and professional attributes.

I don't think any school has any problem with recos from community service as long as they actually add value to your application since it highlights yet another aspect of who you are. It is for you to judge how much value is added to your app by the reco. For eg if you have done a not-so-significant project but your recommender waxes eloquent it may not reflect well since the adcoms can usually see through that when they compare it to your resume.

Just my $.02

Thanks for your two cents, Kidchaos. Finally I also got one LOR from my community service supervisor. Hope it's ok.

Anytime!

Btw I am quite surprised at the lack of movement in the R1 applicants. I mean R2 has already gone in but we are hearing nothing back. In fact my status still says "Your MBA application is being reviewed by our admissions committee and we will contact you if we have any questions." I really don't know what to make of it.

Has everyone who received an interview invite in the last week (the post-Christmas "second" wave) conducted their interviews?

I completed mine (off-campus, local alumni), this past Saturday.

I'm just curious and trying to get an idea, hoping that they'll release decisions a bit early.

I got the invitation on 01/06.
Finally got my interview scheduled for 01/19. (Too late?)
But, the silver lining is that I only have to wait for 6 days before the decision comes :-D

From last year's thread, all R1 ding-without-interview decisions were sent in mid December. I think that would have been the more humane thing to do this year as well but I think they just had a lot more applications to wade through.

Hi Guys,
Adcom has asked my interviewer to provide a feedback by the 20th.
Its 2 more weeks till the Decision Day and I think there is still a fair chance to get invited as long as your interview feedback can be provided by the end of next week.
Also, last week a bulk of invitations went out on Thursday.

So, I don't see any reason to loose hope yet! Cheer Up~

I applied round 1 Consortium, and haven't heard a word from Anderson, not even confirmation of receipt. Is anyone else in the same boat? Should I be worried at this point?

I just interviewed on 1/13 via Skype. Still not sure by when will the decision be out. The quoted text indicates that 1/25 is the official date. Is that true? I could not find any particular date on the website.
