Although interviews are not required, many applicants find that an interview provides them with an opportunity to personalize their individual cases beyond what has been articulated in the application. Because we may not be able to accommodate everyone who requests an interview, we encourage you to contact the Admissions Office for an interview appointment as early as possible. Only one interview is conducted for each applicant. Interviews with a UCLA Anderson staff member or current student are available at UCLA Anderson and in selected cities.
