UCLA Anderson still has the most prestige among the schools I was admitted too. Los Angeles is beautiful. On-Campus recruiting seemed strongest at UCLA.

GPA: 8.4/10
Location: Brazil
Notes:

Took the EA (162) and applied to schools that accepted it.

NYU was 1 year tech program.

Factors influencing decision: location, % of class going to tech, cultural fit and resources for tech recruiting (specialization, clubs, professors, etc). Already had UCLA as my top 1 and the fellowship was the cherry on top.

Note:

I’ve stayed on the waitlist since March and provided 2 half-assed personal updates about continued interest and a promotion. I didn’t chase alum or student recs as I was accepted to another top choice school which I think would’ve helped turn the decision around in May. Best of luck to everyone else!
