I attended an application workshop this fall. We were told you should extend your resume to multiple pages as necessary. They said that the resume is an underutilized piece in many applicant's profiles. Good luck!

rmforney That's good to know. Was that workshop hosted by Foster in some form?

I feel like 90% of the app advice I've read says to keep your resume to 1 page, unless you have like 10+ years WE. It would make sense to use a longer resume for Foster because that is really the only way to tell them about what you've done (except for the essays, which I supposed should be reserved to highlight the strongest aspects of your application).

That was directly from the director of admissions at Foster. I don't know about other programs, but Foster wants a detailed and thorough resume.

Congratulations to all those who are IN. I made it as well! However, I have a question. If i accept the offer now and then want to decline it at a later point of time (after 1st march), then what are the terms and conditions for that? Will I have to pay a certain amount to break the bond? Please share your inputs if you have any. Thanks.

I was also curious about this, especially how the March 1 deadline plays into the decision dates of other schools I applied to. I went ahead and clicked ACCEPT to see what the next steps were. It appears there are two deposits due that total about $1,000. These are nonrefundable, so that's what you'd pay if you ultimately decline and go elsewhere.

In for R3! And officially done with MBA applications...whew, what a relief. Now we wait.

And, to ask the ever-obnoxious question....does Foster require a official GMAT score report at the time of application? Or do they just verify your official score report later on, like most schools? I think Fuqua is the only school I've applied to that specifically requested official score reports to be requested at the time of application (but maybe even then I misinterpreted their instructions...). I promise, I scoured Foster's website and searched this thread before asking the question here. Thanks in advance for any responses! :-D

Good luck errybody!

Submitted for R3. Thank God this is all over.

Well, at least this part.

Now to wait--which may or may not be the absolute worst part of this whole process.
