Yield protect, bro. Pay it no mind. Ironically, when I first started applying it was my first choice. A couple hours after the interview, I withdrew (but apparently they didn't get the memo and sent a ding along anyways). It happens. Good luck on your other applications.

I gave my interview last month. Megan interviewed me. I think it lasted around 30 mins. She had me talk about my most recent role and here's a recap of some of the behavioral questions asked:
How do you handle negative feedback
What capabilities do you have that will help you contribute to business/school
Tell me about a time when you effected a change
Who was the most influential person in your work experience
Experience with leadership

She also asked what am I looking for in the program (or what am i looking to gain).

Hi crackHSW, thanks for your time in helping prospective Foster MBAs. I have been accepted and 95% will be attending unless i hear from other schools. Can you tell me different roles that are offered in the tech space? I hear that Product Management and Product Marketing are the predominant ones, but i am curious to know if any tech consulting (Deloitte etc) and tech strategy ( like Emerson has) figure in the scheme of things?

Also, if you can throw some light on TA/RA once i land up in Seattle. I have not been offered any scholarship so need to know if there are any avenues on campus to make some $$$.

Finally, can you tell me the full 2 year tuition? The website mentions the first year fees as 57K. Is it the same for the second year?

Look forward to hearing from you.


This is pretty much my exact situation, so I'd love to hear your thoughts as well.

Thanks CrackHSW. That was really helpful. Can you let me know about housing in and around the campus? I have gone through Foster website and i see that 2BHK on campus is about $900. It is better to stay on campus or is it cheaper off campus? I have a family so will need at least 2BHK and cannot share an apartment :-(

The application asks me for my "major GPA". What year(s) do I calculate it for? I did engineering from an Indian school (no surprises!) so the last 2 years or only the last 1 year? (4 semesters or 2 semesters resp.)

Also, what did you guys do about TOEFL? All my UG (and prior) education has been entirely in English - my transcripts say this too.
But still it lists my TOEFL as "mandatory" in the application..

I am WL from Round 2. I assume the only further communication would be an update in the admission status! So, we may have to wait till the next decision deadline!

Received an update for my R1 WL this evening. Taken off the waitlist and thrown into the ding pool. Very unfortunate, but I'm happy to have visited the school and I'm fairly certain I'll find myself living in Seattle in the end anyway. I like that city too much. Good luck to everyone!
