Full-Time MBA

No. Many factors are considered in the decision process. Admission decisions are not made solely on the basis of grades and test scores. However, you may want to review our average and range of scores in our most recent class profile to ensure that your GMAT or GRE score (including Writing Assessment) represents your ability. If your score doesn't reflect your ability, we recommend that you consider retaking the test.

The GMAT or GRE must be taken on or before The Consortium application deadline for the round in which you apply. If you retake the GMAT or GRE after the deadline, you can send us the new score, however, there is no guarantee that it will be taken into consideration.

Applicants who were educated in countries where English is not the primary spoken language of daily life are required to take the TOEFL or IELTS, regardless of the language used at their school. This includes applicants with degrees from multilingual countries such as India, Nigeria or Pakistan, among others. For more information, please refer to UCLA Graduate Division Office English requirements.

Once the Admissions Committee has reviewed your Consortium application, you may be invited to interview. Interviews are offered virtually via Zoom. Interview invitations generally start going out about three weeks after the application deadline, and continue to go out on a rolling basis until the notification deadline. You will be notified by email if you are invited to interview.

If invited to interview you will need to submit official hard-copy transcripts directly to our Admissions office. The transcript copy that is included in The Consortium application will be used for preliminary evaluation purposes but is not considered an official transcript. Additional information will be provided in the interview invitation.

You will also need to submit official test scores (GMAT/GRE/TOEFL/IELTS) directly to us electronically. The test scores included in The Consortium application will be used for preliminary evaluation purposes but official test scores need to be reported directly to us from the testing organization. Your interview invitation will include our school codes for each test.

Yes, all admitted students are automatically considered for UCLA Anderson fellowships. A separate application for fellowship consideration is not required.

Consortium Fellowships cannot be transferred to other MBA programs. Although a fellowship is not guaranteed, your school ranking at the time of application determines the order in which schools may consider you for The Consortium Fellowship. You are first considered for the fellowship by the highest-ranked school to which you were admitted. If that school does not choose to award you the fellowship, the option passes to the next highest-ranked school to which you were admitted and so on. While many Consortium schools may admit you, only one Consortium school may offer you the Fellowship. After your application is submitted to the Consortium, you cannot change your school ranking.

Whether a Consortium Fellowship recipient or Consortium member, you must remain in good academic standing (i.e., 3.0 GPA or higher) while you are a student at UCLA Anderson.
