UCLA Anderson Denies Admissions Deferrals to Students During Pandemic

Top MBA programs in the United States, including UCLA Anderson, are not allowing international students to defer their admissions, even if they are unable to travel and physically be here in the United States due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Instead they must either shell out over $140k in tuition or forfeit thousands of dollars in deposit and risk losing their place in the program.

In this segment, James dives into a tone deaf letter sent to students by the administration of UCLA Anderson School of Management (led by Dean Antonio Bernardo) explaining why they wont accept deferrals.

An excerpt from the email letter sent to admitted UCLA students: "Tough times can be a blessing in disguise. For example, our MBA Class of 2022 will have a great story to tell to future employers about how they rose to the challenge of making the most of their education in extreme circumstances and learned lifelong skills in managing through significant uncertainty.”
