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?

Right below where it says application submitted, it lists both reveiwers names and when they were recieved. Now those reveiwers names have disappeared, it just shows that the app was submitted.

Does anyone have any info on the recommenders disappearing as it relates to admits/dings, other than anecdotal evidence? Has everybody who was admitted noticed this before they received their admit? Is there any correlation between timing of interview & the recs disappearing? I.e. is it a bad sign if the recs are still showing up and it has been several weeks since the interview, considering a round of admits already went out for R2? I would think ucla would change their procedures if applicants are able to figure out their status before notification, but maybe I'm giving them too much credit? Bottom line: I interviewed 2/6 and haven't heard anything, and my recs are still listed. Should I be worried? Thanks!

If I've learned anything from the application process it's to not over analyze everything. That just leads to unnecessary worrying. Everything will happen in due time, so I think it's best to just wait and actually do stuff to take your mind off the waiting. For reference, I interviewed recently and my application status still shows submitted with my recommenders there as well.

I randomly checked my application page a day or two prior to receiving my admit call and my recommender names had disappeared. Every other time before that they were displayed. Posted from my mobile device

Do you ever received Email says interviewers submitted report after your interview? Because after I interviewed on 14th Feb, I didn't receive any Email saying interviewer submitted report. And I check my Application, there is no Interviewer name or reports at all. I am not sure even my interviewer's report has been reviewed yet... Please help!!!

I wouldn't worry. I never got any notification saying my interviewers report was submitted, and you interviewed fairly recently so I'm sure they have the report and are reviewing your application. There is still plenty of time and all we can do is wait patiently. Good luck!

for those of you whose recommenders names disappeared, when did you interview? I interviewed on 2/19 and my recommenders names are still there. =( Thanks!

I interviewed last week. Interviewer said that MOST admission decisions are on April 3rd. Still, I sense from the Admissions Blog that most decisions are rolling. (With a deadline of April 3rd). Anyone has insights on how many R2 decisions are released before the deadline?

Just checked the website again and now my Rec's are back and visible. Weird stuff going on...maybe the adcom is on to us

Weird.. mine too. Maybe when they review the files, some system issue causes them to disappear, and when they're done it goes back to normal. Which means we should hear soon. Which is a 100% guess haha
