Hi all, I'm a current student (class of 2011) at UCLA. If any of you have any questions about the program, feel free to PM me

Hi everyone, I applied for UCLA MFE program for the first round and had an interview with a member of the industrial advisory board on April 25, but since then I received no news from them. Based on the tracker for the last year's situation, applicants had got admission at this moment but this year no admissions have been posted yet. So I'm curious to know if anyone is caught in the same situation as I do that having other programs to make a final decision yet waiting desperately for UCLA's decision? Or anyone who has been notified by the committee but didn't post their info in the tracker?

I keep hearing this year has seen more MFE applicants than ever so I'm thinking they're just more backed up than before.

But it doesn't necessarily mean UCLA had a record number of applicants, especially at this moment most schools have finished enrollment.

I just found a call from Francesca on my voicemail. I got in! My email is still empty and my application still says under review so she must be calling people first.

Looks like everyone in this thread has a happy ending

Despite a small sample, I believe more will join our group. Committee is ready for admission decision now!

You guys have any news on financial aid? I remembered the interviewer mentioned some scholarships..wondering if the scholarship decision comes together with the admission....

I also got admitted into UCLA.

No financial aid information mentioned in the admission letter, does any of you get it?

About half way through the review period. Anyone hear from UCLA yet? It seems slower than last year. I think their program is increasing in popularity. Anyone receive interview requests or rejections or any correspondence at all? I haven't heard anything.
Thanks!

 

[sjylvsh]

Me neither. Do they release results on Mar. 31st or before then?

 

[Clark Henry]

Still nobody has heard from UCLA? If they will be conducting interviews, then it's really going to come down to the wire, huh? Somebody must have heard from them by now!
