Congratulations on your admission
to the Class of 2026!
As the VPs of Admitted Student Events, we are excited to welcome you to the #AnderFam and hope to show you the best of UCLA Anderson. This year Anderson Round One Welcome (AROW) will be an in-person event with programming on Saturday, February 3 at the UCLA campus. Anderson Days (A-Days) will also take place in-person at the UCLA campus on Friday, April 19 – Saturday, April 20. Both events will give you the opportunity to get a taste of academics through a mock class, network with current students and your future classmates, and learn about how Anderson’s resources will jumpstart your career. At Anderson, significant others are part of the family, so they are welcome to join you for any of our events. For those who are unable to travel to Los Angeles, we will also offer some virtual opportunities to connect with current students, the Parker Career Management Center, and student clubs.
As we get closer to these Admit Events, we will provide you with a full schedule of programming and more information on ways to connect. Please check this website and our weekly MBA Admit Blasts regularly for updates.
