UCLA Anderson 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Good luck everybody!

FYI, the Latest Intake data on this thread is wrong. At least a year outdated. Anderson's most up to date intake info can be found here:

https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x27471.xml

Invited to interview. Email went out this evening. On-campus and Skype interviews available.

applied 40 minutes late for R1, not sure if i guess i will be considered for R2

Contact somebody directly at admissions. Here is one contact you can try:

alex.lawrence@anderson.ucla.edu

He is the assistant dean, director of MBA admissions at Anderson.

I'm not sure this will help. You've already emailed adcom and they told you no changes will be accepted. Emailing a Dean could annoy them and he'll likely tell you the same thing you've heard before.

Received my invite yesterday afternoon. Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know if Anderson invites around a certain date or sporadically? Congrats to those who are invited!

i would not repeatedly bother Adcom about this. there are two considerations:

1. will they possibly not notice this typo?
if so, do NOT remind them! i had a mistake on my resume for another school and i was informed by an admissions consultant who worked on an adcom, that she is willing to bet 75% the chance the school would not notice. my mistake was at the end of my resume under interest, so it is obviously less likely to be picked up.

2. if they do notice the typo
adcom knows that people make mistakes. while it is definitely not good, the will understand. as long as you are not typo-prone and have mistakes all over the place----that indicates you are sloppy. repeatedly bugging adcom about it will make you look insecure.

i understand your anxiety my friend. i was in your boat about a month ago or so, after i discovered my mistake. i had reviewed my resume multiple times and even had two friends look at it, and they didnt notice at all. if you had the same QC procedure and did not see it, you can be comfortable that the adcom may not notice it either.

it is important to forget about it. do not stay up all night. i was angry for like a day or so. after that i was like, screw it!

Not sure if they favor sending invites on one day or another but they definitely send them out over a long period of time... Results don't come out until January, so it's feasible that invites could still go out up to that point.

when i spoke with the dean of admissions at an info session, he said interview invites would come out in january. back then i did not seek clarification, but i dont think he heard me clearly.

i also heard that UCLA application is "rolling", which means that they start reviewing applicants as soon as they submit. i submitted the day before R1 deadline. Now i just hope they have not gotten to me yet, and it is why i have not seen an interview invite.

It's the beginning of November -- UCLA's application deadline was basically a week ago! There is still lots of time for invites. It's the weekend: stop thinking about this and go relax!

Yeah I guess maybe contacting adcom again may not help, but I met Alex in person, and he seemed really nice and helpful. It's a tough call. Yeah, MAYBE adcom won't notice, but at this point you have already told them that there is a mistake on your resume, so now they may be looking for it. But it's not like the XXX savings is going to change your resume dramatically. I'd say its a non-issue. Like others have said, if you have grammatical errors and mistakes all across your application, then yes, you're probably out of the running. Adcom won't judge you based on ONE mistake. Just sit back, relax, and I'm positive you will get an interview still!!!

Invited to interview.

Congratulations, stayfrosty! When did you submit your app? Let's see if our "first in first out" theory still applies...

Thanks aerien. Submitted the night before the deadline. I think it was already Oct 24th when I submitted. I'm pretty sure they send out rolling invites as they read applications.

Submitted my app Tue, Oct 23, 2012 around 8pm. Received interview invite on Friday (11/2). There were not many options available for on-campus interview slots!
