UCLA Anderson: California, Los Angeles, Hollywood

MBA Director of Admissions May Jennifer Shores talks about what UCLA Anderson has to offer and what it takes to get into it.

Shores, associate dean and director of admissions for MBA programs at UCLA Anderson School of Management, says she ended up as an admissions officer in the most common way people do, by accident. She came to Russia to teach a course in public policy, but at the last minute was appointed as a business school teacher in the subject “Negotiations”. After two years she decided to continue her activities in Eastern Europe and has already got a teaching job in Kazakhstan. Her student loans, however, forced her to return to the US. There, Shores’ international experience and business school experience led her to the Anderson School’s admissions office.

Like Shores, many of the students at Anderson have what might be called an interesting backstory. The Anderson School’s emphasis on diversity transcends geographic boundaries and embraces diversity in thought, Shores explains. That’s what makes the business school unique. Nearly 5% of the 2008 course started their own businesses, while non-traditional industries such as media and entertainment topped the employers’ tables. In an interview with BusinessWeek reporter Mandy Oaklander, Shores discusses how the school’s creativity attracts relevant applicants and why UCLA’s Los Angeles name is especially important to business school students. Here is a recording of the conversation.

Question: How does the number of applicants look like this year compared to previous years?

Answer: The number of applicants has slightly decreased. Like many other business schools, we saw an increase in interest in the program at the beginning of the recruitment period, and it leveled off over time. Not surprisingly, we have noticed an increase in the number of applicants from the financial industries. We believe that the quality of the applicant pool remains very strong.

Question: What do you expect to see at the interview? What will tell you that one of the applicants is a great fit for the UCLA program?

Answer: In an interview, we expect to see authenticity, the ability to enter into a dialogue as opposed to a monologue, and the ability to introspect. Many applicants tend to look rehearsed and obsessed with self-serve. Sometimes they evade questions and deal with them at a very superficial level. This feature, in fact, allows us to get to know a person and his attitude to life and work, which helps us a lot.

Q: Is this the most common mistake applicants make during interviews?

Answer: Being too rehearsed is one of them. Another is that students tend to get so nervous that they don’t actually deviate one step from their resume or answer questions they have formulated in advance. Sometimes they miss the interviewer’s hints or the subtleties of the question that differ from their blanks.

Question: What kind of person would fit perfectly into your program?

Answer: The students who get along well at UCLA Anderson are those who strive for excellence, but not in the way often associated with MBA students. They strive to have a sense of authenticity and integrity that extends to everything they do. We are looking for people who are great at playing in the sandbox; those who are more interested in the community around them than in achieving their own goals.

Q: Some schools are reporting a drop in applications from international applicants. How is it at UCLA?

Answer: In some regions there was a slight decrease in the number of foreigners, but this did not affect the overall quality of the applicants. For example, many schools have seen a decline in the number of applicants from some Asian countries, but we still see the same strong potential in terms of the quality of the applicant pool that we would like to accept.

Question: Has the number of applicants from other parts of the world increased?

Answer: In our case, there was some increase this year, and I think this is partly due to the development of our recruitment activities.

For example, this year we traveled to the Middle East and then found an additional increase in applications from that region. We traveled with a group called the Access MBA and a joint program that combines our Executive MBA program with the university’s National University Singapore. As a result, we received several applicants from Saudi Arabia, Israel and other countries in the Middle East.

Question: Do you plan to continue this program in the future?

Answer: Yes, we do. I think it’s a very strong emerging market, and in the long run it can produce a lot of great candidates.

Question: Since 2008, UCLA has added several leadership electives to the curriculum: Ethical Leadership, Complexity Leadership, Leadership & Ethics. Is their emergence at this time related to how MBA education is perceived during the financial crisis?

Answer: I think these subjects are really a continuation of our story as we started to focus more on the quality of the MBA. Definitely pinning them into separate courses will help enrich what we’re already doing. Some of them appeared at the request of students, some – at the request of the business community. Thus, the ethical aspects of leadership are introduced in a more structured way.

Q: Last year, only 80% of students reported receiving a job offer after graduation, and student job cuts are becoming common among business schools. How is the economic crisis affecting the employment of Anderson graduates?

Answer: Anderson is very successful in many ways compared to other programs when it comes to career choices. Like other MBA programs, we are finding the employment process more problematic now than in previous years. But one of the advantages we have over many of the leading programs is the historically vast mix of companies and industries that brings employers to our campus on a full-time basis.

For example, within 90s and in recent years, when the demand for an MBA for a career in investment banking and consulting was very high, we continued to maintain relationships with a variety of companies operating in the consumer goods, biotechnology, high technology, nanotechnology, manufacturing, space and clean energy. Instead of succumbing to the herd mentality that you can find in some business schools, our students were given a wide range of career options. We have a strong presence in consulting firms and leading financial institutions, but this is complemented by a wide variety of other career opportunities.

Question: In 2008, 42% of graduates were not looking for a job, they were trying to start their own business. This is a fairly high figure among business schools. Do you associate it with the entrepreneurship program?

Answer: I think the focus on entrepreneurship says more about UCLA Anderson’s overall approach to learning and education. Historically, people have viewed entrepreneurship very narrowly and have thought that it means simply starting your own business. We have always considered entrepreneurship much wider than this idea.

Entrepreneurship is not just about starting your own initiative. It’s working within an established company and helping it survive, especially in an environment where there are many large companies. At UCLA, we have the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, which is an amazing resource for people who want to become entrepreneurs. Students come to this school because it educates venture capitalists and investors. It gives students broad access to local businesses and companies where they can see how new businesses are launched, how they succeed and how they fail. This gives them the knowledge and skills to learn.

Question: What role does Los Angeles play in Anderson’s business life?

Answer: Los Angeles is where many small businesses are concentrated and where the real growth of the US economy and the world economy comes from. At the same time, the city is home to many large Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. But there is an opportunity to be actively involved in local business.

Q: What are Anderson alumni doing to help students get jobs?

Answer: We have heard a lot about how responsive alumni are in helping students.

You can see alumni participation at events organized for enrolled students. They even interact with prospective students before they are formally enrolled in the school. This is a wonderful resource: most graduating students find jobs through alumni.

Q: How is UCLA doing with on-campus recruiters?

Answer: We have been very active this year in keeping in touch with all of our many employers. We’ve done a lot of creative things: more “journey trips” and new initiatives, like the job fair we held for the first time on campus.

Q: Could you be more specific about what a “vacancy trip” is?

Answer: A “journey for vacancies” is a trip of students to various key regions where enterprises operate.

Q: What makes Anderson different from other MBA programs?

Answer: We offer a complete and daring educational environment. Los Angeles, due to its proximity to Latin America and the Pacific Rim, is the center of major action in global markets. As we said, Los Angeles is also home to small businesses that are a source of economic growth. Likewise, the California location offers access to one of the most diverse employment and population bases in the United States. You won’t find this kind of diversity in almost any other US city. Los Angeles offers students an unparalleled variety of perspectives and ways of doing business.

Q: Can you tell us a little-known fact about Anderson School?

Answer: A huge problem we face is informing people about all the variety of opportunities that exist in the school. When people think of Los Angeles, they often think of it as a center of information and entertainment. They do not know anything about some of the actual characteristics of the school. When people get to know us, they are sometimes surprised at how strict our curriculum is.

Another thing that surprises people is how enterprising we are in different areas. For example, this year the admission committee offered the option of submitting an entrance essay – to record an essay in the form of an audio clip. To me this is really proof of the school’s ability to be inventive at a time when most people don’t write their own essays. About 71% of all applicants actually submitted an audio clip.

Most schools talk about applied research, and Anderson students are required to write a research paper that is now supposed to be global. This gives them a real opportunity to gain first-hand experience on how to do business with companies all over the world.
