I've heard really good things about C4C from recent alums and current students. Not sure if it involves all the Top West Coast schools (or just Pac-12), regardless, I heard it's one of the funnest and most rewarding MBA clubs to be a part of.


As a current student, I can tell you one thing - the C4C weekend is one event you do not want to miss. This is one of the best experiences I've had as an MBA student.
I will definitely be going for the 2015 weekend as well.

There are 8 West Coast Schools - Foster, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC Marshall, UC Irvine, UC Davis and USF.

We play hard during the day and party at night :)

If you get selected in any of the above mentioned schools, do not miss the C4C weekend in April.

Hi, everyone. I'm really excited to apply this year. Quick question: how much time should you give yourself between your GMAT test date and the application deadline? I'm planning to apply R3, and wonder when my last chance is to have the GMAT done. Do they want to have the Official Scores in hand by the deadline, or are they OK with just taking your unofficial scores until the official ones come in?

I can't speak for the admissions team but I have attended two of their informational sessions. If I remember correctly, they're OK with unofficial scores at the time of the application.

I highly recommend you contact their Director of Admissions, Erin Town, to get confirmation. Their contact info is posted publically here:
https://www.foster.washington.edu/academ ... %20Us.aspx and they encourage prospective candidates to directly reach out to them.

The Application Status shows that it is complete and the department confirms it has received all the necessary materials. My GMAT score is 650 and I have two years of work ex.

What do I do?? Is there anyone I can mail and find out?

Thanks!

Anyone done with the Admissions Interview? I guess everyone doesn't receive the invitation for the Video interview... For those who appeared for Video interview (the pre-recorded 2 question interview), is there a Admissions interview also scheduled?

Yes after the video interview, if they like you, you get invited to a proper admissions interview. If we don't, then we are out! :(

Has anyone received the face-to-face interview invite after the video interview? :roll:

Wouldn't stress too much until the end of November. Smaller class size so they can take their time. Plus several AdCom's are on the road conducting interviews.

Hi

For the 2nd essay this prompt is given as .

"Inspiring Profession Experience - Describe a specific experience that inspired your professional plans and prompted you to explore the MBA."

I am confused here as the first part says profession experience but in the main prompt it just says experience .

Do I have to use an experience that I had in professional life or can I give one from my life in general that inspired my long term goals?

Thanks

Personally, I used a non-professional experience to answer this.

When in doubt, send mail to the UW Foster Admissions Team. They've been very helpful in answering questions.

"Inspiring Profession Experience" is just the title of the essay prompt. You can use ANY experience that inspired your professional plans and prompted you to explore the MBA.

Going to be stuck at work until 2 or 3 or 4 tonight/this morning. Have my Foster interview at 9 in the AM. At least it will be near the office. Going to look awful... my 2 minute break on GMATClub right now is my only interview prep.
