Congratulations for being accepted to the UCLA Anderson MBA program. 

As you consider your next step, ask yourself, "What gives someone an edge in today's global marketplace?"

We believe it's the ability to "Think in the Next." This means seeing possibility in every challenge. And if the challenge is daunting, then it's all the more interesting. It also means remodeling business models for future success. Or how to be sustainable yet profitable. How to rebuild the overall economy, and use shared knowledge for the greater good. It's all about understanding the now, but thinking in the next.

Being in the right MBA program at the right time isn't luck. It's a choice. Here, you'll gain invaluable skills from a world-renowned faculty. You'll benefit from an array of curriculum options geared to real-time changes in the global economy. And as a member of the UCLA Anderson MBA Class of 2015, you'll be part of a group of 360 exceptional and diverse individuals, chosen from thousands of applicants and more than 50 countries around the world. You will all converge in Los Angeles - which I believe is the most vibrant and advanced business culture on the planet. At the same time, you will join a network of more than 39,000 accomplished and accessible alumni located in every region of the globe: Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. 

If that sounds like the future you've imagined, then this is the place. If you need any additional information or assistance, don't hesitate to contact me in the Office of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid at 310-825-6944.
