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?

Thanks zirconium. Lets keep the sanity alive for a couple of more days. All the best to you too man!

anyone know what percentage of those interviewed are offered admission?

I was invited to interview on 7/Mar and interviewed on 22/Mar via Skype. No news of an admit yet

I was a rd 1 waitlist. My WL decision is gone, but my recommenders are still there so I'm thinking I'll be staying on the WL or maybe a ding.

Is this a confirmed thing? That the recommendor details will go if you are going to get admitted?

Yeah, apparently. Mine haven't. I don't think they'll disappear until a few mins before the decision is made available.

Hey guys as the decision date is tomorrow for Anderson... Does anybody know at what time (with time zone) does the results come out usually???

anyone else from the US receive the email notification of the application being reviewed but no invite for interview yet?

that's super promising...are you a r2? international?
