I've been to group session at Anderson and loved it. I met the speaker who was working with admissions, but I'm guessing that he will be gone (he's graduating this year) and didn't really get to meet any adcom folks.

I visited in April and I'm applying this fall. I live in the bay area - should I wait for them to come up to the bay or is another campus visit due?

Thanks

Dear doclkk,

I don't think you need to make another visit to campus. However, if offered the chance to interview on campus, I think you should as making the trip to campus for the interview will reflect positively on you. You should definitely take advantage of any and every opportunity to meet with a UCLA representative in your area. It is possible you might see the same person more than once and/or make a connection where you can continue the exchange via email during the admissions process.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
