UCLA MFE UCLA MFE Admission Discussion

[RahulJindal]

Hi,

I have been invited for a pre-recorded video interview by UCLA. Can you please let me know what can I expect in the interview? Any tips or advice would be appreciated?

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi did you come across any group ?

 

[RahulJindal]

I got a second interview call today. Any tips, please?

Hi Rahul. I only gave one interview, the one that was automated and with video questions. Let me know, if you want details around that.

Hey, Thanks. I was invited for an interview after that video interview but then was given the offer directly today. Are you joining UCLA?

Hello,

I recently received an online video interview request from UCLA as part of their further review. People who have done this interview, what can I expect from it? Are the technical questions too specific?

Expect maths, finance, and behavioral questions

Did anyone receive update from UCLA MFE yesterday. They said decisions will come out on 7/15, but I didn't get any news.

I received an email quite late yesterday saying that the admission committee is still reviewing my application and their timeline has been affected by the pandemic.

Thanks! Did they tell you when to expect a result?

Ahhh not explicitly... I'll quote the email: In the midst of this global pandemic, our admissions timeline has also been affected and we thank you for your patience throughout this process. We will make every effort to keep you informed regarding the status of your application.
Hopefully we can get our results soon!

Hey, curious to know if anyone has gotten UCLA interview invites yet? The decision deadline is March 1 according to the website, but I haven't seen much activity about UCLA applications.

 

[Kev-X]

My score hasn't even been verified yet, so I'm not sure what's going on.

 

[sanjana]

[quantnoob]

I did mine last week, it's a pre recorded interview with 6-7 questions.
Some are behavioural and some will be on topics in math/stats/computer science/finance.
You get a decent amount of time to prepare for questions - like 30-45s for behavioural ones and 3 mins or so for any topical ones.
Also - it still shows that my GRE score is not verified on my application checklist so I'm not sure what's going on there :P
