The best essays are introspective, genuine and succinct in directly answering our questions and responding to our topics. • Essay questions are listed below for both first-time applicants and re-applicants. • You should try to distinguish yourself by showing what makes you different from others who share similar profiles. • Personal expression is what we are looking for, not platitudes. • Making a strong case for your future plans requires you to first do research on career paths and find one that resonates. Even if this target will change during business school, your application essays should lay out a clear trajectory for short-term and long-term goals. Do this by demonstrating how you expect to build on skills from your past, and those you expect to gain from the MBA. • Essays are more compelling if they include specific courses, programs, groups, opportunities, activities, etc. from which you would benefit, if admitted to UCLA Anderson. These references are best found through website research, personal discussions and a campus visit (if possible). • Content and clarity are key elements, as we seek superior communication skills. • Style is a consideration too, although we understand that those who speak other languages may have different manners of expression in English. • We do check your essays for plagiarism, so make sure you always submit your own work. • Length does not equal strength. A well-written short essay can have even more impact than a longer essay. Please try to respect the word limits indicated below. • All responses to essays must be on double-spaced pages that are uploaded as a document. We do not accept essays in any other media but written form. FIRST-TIME APPLICANTS - TWO REQUIRED ESSAYS: 1) What is your proudest achievement outside the workplace, and how has it impacted you? (700 words maximum) 2) What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how will an MBA from UCLA Anderson specifically help you achieve these goals? (700 words maximum) OPTIONAL ESSAY: The following essay is optional. No preference is given in the evaluation process to applicants who submit an optional essay. Please note that we only accept written essays. 1) Are there any extenuating circumstances in your profile about which the Admissions Committee should be aware? (250 words maximum) RE-APPLICANTS - ONE REQUIRED ESSAY: Reapplicants who applied for the class entering in fall 2011 or 2012 are required to complete the following essay: 1) Please describe your career progress since you last applied and ways in which you have enhanced your candidacy. Include updates on short-term and long-term career goals, as well as your continued interest in UCLA Anderson.

Oh my gosh I just got an invite to interview!! I applied round 1 and this whole time I've been thinking I was rejected since I never got an interview and then this morning I got waitlisted, and now I just got invited to interview a few minutes ago! Wow this is a great surprise. I'm stunned

Same here....I'm an international. Hope it's not a system bug....

Same situation here. Waitlisted early this morning (12:01 AM PST) then received an interview invite in the late morning (11:18AM PST). Does this make us 1.5 rounders??

Time to start researching Anderson interview questions...

I would assume you were waitlisted then interviewed because you had not been interviewed prior to the waitlist. It is a way of getting everybody on the same level. Berkeley offers everyone who hadn't been interviewed, but was added to the waitlist, the opportunity to interview as well. Good luck either way.

Interesting. So did everyone who was waitlisted get invited to interview? I know last year they sent out interview invites periodically to waitlisted applicants, but maybe they changed things so all waitlisted applicants get interviews automatically.

I am on the wait-list. I was interviewed in December. I don't think they would interview me again. I wish they could.

Did it not go well or something?

I wonder if everyone who was waitlisted without an interview was then invited to interview

I feel I could have done better. Could have briefed more on my profile. Is everyone else on the wait-list belong to the group that wasn't interviewed earlier?

I interviewed but was wait listed. Not sure if that's better or worse. Interviewed in November I believe (would have to check) but I am also located in southern California so came on campus. I felt my interview went very well actually. I feel my numbers could of kept me from an acceptance but who knows (well the admissions committee does). Anyway, will be waiting for Marshall's decision next week (fingers crossed)

No interview invite until a few hours after I got wait listed. Seems like that's the overriding theme. Any advice on what I can do beyond knocking the ball out of the park on the interview?

Ding. This is unbelievable.

I was rooting for you. Sorry for that.

But, Darden is a great admit in my opinion and there are still a few left. Any which ways, you have a very safe net.

Thanks man.

Yes, Darden would have taken preference wrt my post MBA goals too. Nonetheless, every reject hurts.

You're not shooting for class of 15, I guess, are you ?

not anymore

I'll apply for 14-16.

Same here. Got the wait-list notification yesterday and then a little while later the interview invitation arrived. Do you think the interview will actually help someone get off the wait-list, or is it just a formality? I'm considering whether to just do the Skype interview if my changes are slim-to-none anyway.

I think no international applicant has reported the interview invite for R2 so far. May be Adcoms are still busy finalizing the domestic ones.

No my husband's been invited to interview, and we are based in Canada.

If it was a formality, they'd just have dinged you instead. You obviously have something they like, and the interview could really pull things together. Going to campus and interviewing/visiting a class could really help your chances and set you apart.

Submitted the R2 application at around 11pm PST on the deadline date (1/9) - received an interview invite email on 1/22. Scheduled a class visit & interview for 2/6 - excited!

I come from a non-traditional background and do not know many folks going through the b-school app process, so the invite has definitely restored my confidence in my profile. I applied to 6 schools in R2, though 2 are a complete reach/pipe dream. This is the first one I have heard anything from, so I'm pumped!

Short bio:
SoCal native, undergrad @ UCSD (3.5ish gpa), 700 gmat, 3.5 years of non-profit WE (progressive responsibilities), little to no EC's (father was sick & died while I was in college, plus I already work in the social sector). 27 y/o white male (28 at matriculation)

@Jon757 I'm actually signed up for the "Special Topics in Management" class from 9:45-11:15am on Feb. 6th. My interview is at 4:30pm, so I will have plenty of time to peek around the campus and maybe talk with a few people. I'm driving up from San Diego in the morning, so it's going to be a long day!

Anyways, PM me if you care to meet up for lunch or to chat on the 6th!
