UCLA Anderson MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
Really enjoyed it! It was a 2nd-year student and very friendly and conversational. It was the basic questions everyone is listing. Why now? Why UCLA? What will you contribute to the community? Short- and long-term goals? Also got the question about quant readiness since I chose to apply test optional. Overall it was super helpful in learning more about the school and what they have to offer so be sure to ask questions if it’s going well.

UCLA Anderson MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Virtual
The interview was with a second-year student, very calm and friendly. He tried to make me feel comfortable the whole time, emphasizing that it was just a light conversation to get to know me better. On top of that, he gave me lots of advice based on my ambitions and his own experience at UCLA. He was really nice! The questions didn’t stray much from the usual ones: – Tell me about yourself. – Why an MBA and why UCLA? – A leadership story? – Short-term and long-term career goals? – What’s your Plan B?

UCLA Anderson MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / On-Campus
Through the Super Saturday program. Interviewer was reading questions off a sheet of paper, quite basic: Tell me about yourself. Why MBA? Why Anderson? What are your short- and long-term goals? What is your back up plan? A couple behavioral questions: TMAT you persevered through a challenge. TMAT you worked on a team. Only about 20 min of questions and then we chatted about my interviewer’s experience at Anderson for about 10-15 minutes. Not too in-depth, very general interview but was glad to have a good chunk of time to ask questions.
