[nicole0826]

I am definitely going to USC
no other choice
看來之前真的想太多了

[林小馬]

嘿~~ 別難過
因為我覺得從你之前的言談裡覺淂你好像真愛的是USC
這個結果是要讓你不再掙扎啦~~

[evelynfantast]

妮可姐姐:
USC很棒很棒了啦
蔚藍的沙灘,宜人的氣候
你不要太過...就像你在MSN上面說的"上天都已經安排好了"
也許祂安排你在USC有更豐富更精采更炫爛的生活喔
想到就好羨慕USC的點點滴滴喔
加油!!

Rejection +1 ~ 傷心

不過拒絕信中 有一句話 我覺得相當詭異

Dear Ms. Yu:

The Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application materials and I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to UCLA Anderson School of Management for Fall 2006.

Our admission decisions have been especially difficult due to the large number of highly qualified people who applied for the limited number of places in the MBA Class of 2008. Typically, given the high degree of self-selection, at least eighty percent of our applicants could succeed in our MBA program. Thus, we are forced to choose and balance our class from an immensely talented and genuinely impressive pool of applicants. We in no way question your ability to succeed in a fine graduate management program or become an effective manager. Though your application presented many strong qualities, it is our opinion that other applicants demonstrated greater potential to both contribute to and benefit from the academic and professional program at The Anderson School.

Although this may not be the news you were hoping for, we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to review your application. We appreciate your interest and efforts in applying to UCLA Anderson and we wish you well in your plans for the future.

Sincerely,
Linda Baldwin
Director of Admissions


這句話的意思是說
往常 有80%的申請人 可以念到UCLA的MBA?有這麼神奇嗎?
那今年是被詛咒了....

[小芸]

我也收到跟你一樣的拒絕信了...
關於這句話,我覺得學校是說有被錄取也選擇唸UCLA MBA的學生中,
至少有8成順利唸完拿到degree...所以學校方面必須考量這一點,慎選
他們認為合適的applicants...
不知道是不是這個意思說...
我收到信時看完第一句就不看了...反正重點就那句而已...> <

呃...如果我的解讀沒錯的話
學校的意思是說
由於申請UCLA的人多半都已是強者(given the high degree of self-selection)
因此雖然至少有80%的申請者足以勝任他們的課程
但基於limited number of places
他們無法來者不拒
所以 "we are forced to choose and balance our class from an immensely talented and genuinely impressive pool of applicants"
這應該不是說往年有80%的申請者可以念到UCLA的mba吧

不過 不管學校怎麼寫
反正總是些婉轉客氣的用語
也不用太在意了啦

To Nicole:
Welcome to join the Trojan family!

Are you currently living in LA now?

[MBABoy]

To gouting155:
You are right.

Rejection + 1

我覺得那封信裡面最好笑的是最後一段的開頭:
Although this may not be the news you were hoping for, ...

這個"may not be"用的還真是委婉...

[Stacytakeshi]

請問是怎麼通知的呢???
我沒有收到信, 查status也查不到哩~~@@
(嚴格說來是不知道查status的頁面在哪裡)

Thanks!

[nicole0826]

我在猜他們可能先發給被拒絕的人email吧
所以沒收到的搞不好是上了
畢竟今天才是24號呀!!
Good Luck! 沒消息就是還有機會囉~

Hi all,

I'm admitted by UCLA and was notified by email on 3/17. Actually I'm pretty surprised since I was not interviewed. When I thought I were going to be rejected, the congratulatory letter reached me.

My background:
NTU Management School, GMAT 730, TOFEL 280, more than 3 years in two international companies in finance industry.

Congrats to those who are admitted and good luck to those who are awaiting the result. For those rejected, better schools are there for you oh!

[jmy907]

哇... 原來UCLA真的有傳說中的免試升學!

恭喜了!!
