UCLA FEMBA

This might be a stupid question, but FEMBA's website says that it turns away many qualified applicants who wait to apply until last minute. Does that mean people who submit on or shortly before the deadline are at a disadvantage over those who submit early.

My app is complete but I'm still waiting to get my recommendations.

Need some pointers from fellow applicants, if you can please throw a few pointers.

One of the essay topics is
Explain a day in your life you would like to relive and why.

I have chalked out something but am unsure if I have it right.

For such questions, what do you typically write? Do you treat it as a Describe your greatest achievement or Describe your failure and say how you would love to go back and correct things? or do you describe an 'aha' moment?

I am looking for generic pointers - maybe a few examples - I have a feeling I may be reading the question wrong and totally be off in my response.

Thanks!

Let's do a R2 roll call, who's doing R2
