Congrats on the admit!
Thanks! I was happy to get the admit, but had to decline the offer. No scholarship was given.
I'm guessing that being a public school makes it tough for Foster to offer scholarships in the first place, compared to private MBA programs, especially in the 4th round when scholarship money is probably no longer available.
I think being the only game in town in the pacific north west, and in a booming city like Seattle, largely takes away the need to boast a big scholarship war chest for Foster. It's a whole different story for schools on the east coast, midwest, and in other parts of the country where the competitive landscape for MBA programs is entirely different.
Might reply next year in the earlier round. At this point, other schools on the West Coast are also being considered.
Good Luck to all who accepted the offer and are starting their MBA in the Fall!
