UCLA Anderson: Waitlist Guidelines for Round 2

Anderson School of Business(UCLA), on its blog, laid out the guidelines sent out to all waitlist candidates from Round 2 (including those who remain on the list from Round 1).

"
We will retain your name on the waitlist for consideration at the end of Round 3 unless you request your application be withdrawn. If you would like to withdraw, please e-mail wlmgr@anderson.ucla.edu, using the subject header: “Waitlist Remove.” If you would, please include your reasons for withdrawing in your message", informed Mae Jennifer Shores, the admissions director at Anderson School of Business(UCLA).

Stated UCLA Waitlist Guidelines are as below:
  • " * All waitlist candidates who do not ask to be removed from the list will be reconsidered for admission in Round 3 and notified of the Admissions Committee decision by 6pm Pacific Time of the Round 3 decision release date of June 4, 2009. Decisions include: admit, waitlist continue and deny.

  • * In the spirit of fairness and equity, we will not accept additional materials for inclusion in your application, except for new GMAT test scores or final grades for academic coursework completed since the time of application. (Please note: decisions are made across multiple criteria and submission of additional materials beyond test or academic scores would not alter the original admissions decision.)

  • * In the same spirit of fairness and equity, we are unable to offer applicants who have already had an interview another one. Waitlist candidates who have not already been interviewed may be invited for one at a future date.

  • * There is no individual person in the office assigned to manage the waitlist. All waitlist decisions are handled by the Admissions Committee.

  • * Feedback is not offered to waitlist candidates.

  • * There is no rank order to the waitlist.

  • * The chances of being admitted off the waitlist are difficult to predict since much depends on the strength of the pool in subsequent rounds. Historically, the admit rate varies from year to year and has little correlation with the number of candidates placed on the waitlist. "
