Study Abroad
Can you say one of the reasons you chose the school is because they have a strong study abroad program? Would the adcom feel that you don't want to be at the school?

Close To MBA Campus
Hello,
I was reading above, and notice what you said about using proximity to campus as an advantage. Would visiting classes work for UCLA as well. How would you approach the school.
