My status changed from the "we would like to learn more about you through an interview" to the decision release link. I interviewed in middle of December. My interviewer was not that personable though...in fact he made sarcastic comments during the conversation...e.g "you are way too young to make those types of comments about other cultures" in response to an international experience question. Oh well, interviewed on a Saturday with an alum on campus and not heavily emotionally invested in the outcome.

Good luck to everyone else waiting for R1 results!!!

My status changed, too. It says:

I also interviewed in December and had a really negative interview experience w/ an alum...literally said to me, "The school doesn't care if you do well, or who you are, or what you want, all they care about is whether you get a good job after school so they look good on paper...so they tend to really like consultants and finance people." (He was an i-banker, I am a finance person trying to switch OUT of the field.) There were some other negative comments as well that really turned me off. Hopefully it doesn't negatively affect our outcomes but if so, not our fault.

In contrast to these experiences, mine was actually very positive. I interviewed on campus a couple of weeks ago with a 2nd year student. My interviewer was polished, yet laid back and easy to talk to. I'm sure there's more to the story than what you guys said here, but you're going to find bad apples at every school. And if the biggest knock on a school is that they only care about whether or not you get a good job (and they have the means to follow through on that), sign me up today. I'm going back to school to get a better job, that's it.

Not too much more to my story, my interviewer was just not as personable. That's it. Not saying its not an incredibe program. Right before my interview, I was having about an hour long conversation with another alum who was waiting to interview another student. We had a great conversation and even kept in touch afterwards. Wish I had her interview me instead of my guy who was a little sarcastic and condescending for my taste.


Did not mean to hate on the school, and I am not emotionally invested in the outcome as I am fortunate to already be admitted into programs that are better fit. I hope many of you get some amazing news tomorrow!!!!

I will certainly post my outcome tomorrow.

My interview experience went well - I dont remember the exact name of my interviewer, but she was a lady who worked in admissions. She liked all the research I had done on Anderson and wished me luck at the end of the interview.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

I did not say anything offensive, I was having a conversation about how I have witnessed Asia change very much from childhood formative experiences to the way it is now (commenting on my current W/E in the area). Nothing too crazy. Like I said earlier, my interviewer was simply very sarcastic and a little condescending. It was more a representation of his personality and not the school by any means. In fact, like i mentioned earlier, I have had many pleasant interactions with alums from Anderson- I do not think my interviewer was offended by any means. Just wasn't my best interview experience. thats it!

On that note- looking forward to posting my admissions outcome tomorrow to you all!

Is there still any R1 applicant whose status hasn't changed to the below?
"Admission decisions are released by the date shown on the schedule at www.anderson.ucla.edu/x21329.xml"

Just trying to figure out if its a generic status updated in everybody's profile.
