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. (700 words maximum) Class Profile: MBA Class of 2014 Profile Applicant Pool & Class Size Applications Received - 3404 Target Class Size - 360 Age Distribution Average Age - 28 Age Range - 23 - 38 Academic Profile Average Grade Point Average (GPA on 4.0 scale) - 3.5 GPA Range (mid-80%) - 3.2 - 3.9 Average GMAT - 706 GMAT Range (mid-80%) - 660 - 750 Diversity Minorities - 26% Women - 33% International - 33% Countries Represented - 45 Undergraduate Institutions - 177 Work Experience 0 - 3 Years - 15% 3 - 6 Years - 61% 6+ Years - 24% Average Years of Experience - 5.0 Undergraduate Majors Business - 27% Engineering - 20% Economics - 18% Humanities - 20% Math/Computer Science -6% Physical and Biological Sciences - 5% Other - 4% Top Backgrounds by Industry Finance - 26% High Tech - 21% Consulting - 17% Public and Non-Profit - 15% Consumer Goods - 6% Health Care and Biotechnology - 6% Entertainment & Media - 5% Real Estate - 4%

Good luck to the people who just got the interview invite. Remember that at that point, they're looking for reasons to admit you. And Zynga, I am seriously amazed at that quant score of 50. You must be a math machine. Not yet. I'm going in with the mentality that I'll be paying full price. If I get $$, that's a bonus.

Don't forget that probably the majority of applicants are going to find out on the deadline.

I am not sure. How is the Yield rate for Anderson? Half of the interviewed would be admitted?
I don't have too much hope now. Prob a WL.

I also got in yesterday (2/11 interview) and received a fellowship call this morning. As others have noted, the follow up email went to gmail spam.

Wow, you are very optimistic! Can you explain why you said, "they're looking for reasons to admit you"?

The reason I ask is because of the website info:

Interviews are rarely the deciding factor in an admissions decision; instead they typically mirror or round out information already provided in the application.

I got a call today and was all ready to get a fellowship offer... and then she just asked if I had any questions about the program. Looks like I'm paying full price. But whatever, I was prepared for that. Congrats to all the people who did get money.

I might have been a bit optimistic. I'm not trying to say that getting to the interview stage means you can relax. But they liked something about you if they brought you in for an interview, so you need to reinforce that during the interview process.

I had my interview on Feb 14th and was admitted last week. Sorry for the late post but here is a short summary of my interview. I did it on skype with an AdCom member; it was a pleasant conversional interview. The questions were pretty standard:

1. Walk me through your resume
2. Why MBA
3. Why Anderson
4. What extracurricular opportunities would you like to pursue at Anderson
5. International experience
6. Anything else you’d like to cover
7. Any questions for me

Good luck guys!

Hi Guys,

I interviewed on Feb 14th on campus, and still hear nothing about an offer or a ding or a WL.
Do you guys think I would be ding or wl by Anderson on the decision date Apr 3rd?
I haven't hear anything after to rolling decision till now, and i am losing hope.

Does anyone from R1 or last year threat know if I am possible to be admit on the decision date?

Thanks

For all of you February interviewees who want to feel slightly better about not having heard anything yet: I interviewed in early January and still haven't heard anything!

Apparently, the thumbs'll just be twiddling till the decision deadline
