Hi,

As part of GMAT Club’s mission to help future applicants make better-informed decisions, we’re asking all the candidates to update their Decision Tracker. It takes less than a minute, and the anonymized, aggregate data helps the community understand admission trends and scholarship benchmarks, giving the next generation of MBA students the confidence to navigate their own journey.

*Your individual data remains private; we only look at the big picture (aggregate trends). Please update your Decision Tracker here:* decision-tracker/index.html

Thank you!

Hi, how can the Foster Full-Time MBA be structured into a STEM-designated pathway through course selection? Are there specific concentrations, electives, or combinations that enable STEM OPT eligibility?
