UCLA New Grad Summer 2012 program

Published

so there is no step between application and in person interview, like phone interview? I wonder if they means they interview a lot more than they need to.

Last year's cohorts were called in for a individual interviews, if you were in the "selected" group, I went with my friend, it was mind-blowing when you see 30-40 applicants there, just for that one hour, knowing they were interviewing several other groups that day for the next several days. Say, they had 6 groups that day times 35 times several days.....wow. Of course, it was spread out amongst the various units, but still a lot of new grads and just a few openings.

In the end, she didn't hired and still actively looking like myself. I just started applying.

sitch321, they probably use the online assessment to help narrow down the candidate pool. that was the case with stanford, they replaced the phone interviews with the online assessments this year.

Hey everyone! For those who didn't get the assessment (myself included) I just called and she said that they haven't sent out the assessments yet. BUT she said that they will will send them out soon and to keep a lookout for the assessment in our inbox/spam. She said not to worry and that not having done the assessment yet will not affect our application :)

Thanks for the information flee43! I was wondering if it was going to affect our application but I'm glad it's not. :)

Within the next week or so those who have been selected to move on to the next step will receive an email asking for references. If it is like last time you will need to have at least 3 references respond in order to move on to the next step which they will then use to move on to the next step, which I suppose is the interview.

Yes I applied to last cohort. From my friends that were hired, you can put the same references, but 2 more on this next step. If you don't get the email, you have not been chosen to move on. You can check your application status on their website. It is confusing, frustrating and cut-throat. LOL Good luck. Which departments did you apply?

So what it sounds like is that the next step is receiving a reference e-mail and this will be sent out within the next couple of weeks?

@sugarlips-I don't have an "X" anymore on active, that means I didn't make the first cut right?

Hi what X are you referring to? I don't see an X under "active". Are you for sure that this is related to whether you move on or not? Does anyone know if this means anything??
