SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:

s

I would strongly recommend my friends to enroll at UCLA Anderson. My experience at Anderson surpassed all of my expectations - thanks to my amazing classmates, fantastic faculty and the different centers at the school. The Entrepreneurship program provided by the Price center at Anderson is truly outstanding. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity

The program provided an incredible educational experience as well as remarkable access to the strong economy in the greater Los Angeles area. I was also able to get both a summer internship and full-time offer that met my expectations coming into b-school. -- Consulting

For anyone looking to start a career in Southern California, UCLA Anderson is by far the best option. However, it is not quite as prestigious as other schools like Stanford or Harvard. -- Investment Banking

Outstanding program with great professors, challenging course load and most importantly, a strong student body. -- Finance

s

UCLA Anderson is an incredibly supportive environment where one can truly flourish no matter their technical interest. -- Investment Banking

I found the caliber of the faculty and students at Anderson to be outstanding. At the same time, everyone I interacted with were truly warm and unpretentious. I've met friends for life. -- Marketing

I thought it was an excellent program, particularly for those coming from a non-business background wanting to leard the fundamentals quickly. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity

I honestly believe our MBA at Anderson to be an excellent program, academic and recruiting wise, located in a terrific city to live in that conveys a great deal of equilibrium for me and my family. We all had a great time in LA and enjoyed many of the student activities. My wife and daugther are now number one fans of the UCLA program. -- Finance

s

The students were of outstanding calibre and the alumni network is fantastic. I wish they offered more real estate specific courses, but other than that the program was fantastic. -- Finance

Anderson might not best school for peopoe who are pursuing specific career such as consulting. But One of the best school for finance, entrepreneurs and entertainment. -- Finance

I found that the people were extremely easy to get along with but very smart. The curriculum and professors were very challenging and I feel that I learned a lot. -- Human Resources

UCLA Anderson is just as good as any of the Top MBA's, but it has the additional distinction of "greatness without an attitude" which allows students to benefit not only from the outstanding faculty, but also from the other students. -- Finance

UCLA Anderson could have been a great school for Int'l students if only they could have taken care of us better. They focus on enhancing the experience of domestic students which leaves us with less success in recruiting and in academics. -- Investment Banking
