Hi rholzer,

Congrats on your admit!

Did you receive scholarship information via email as well?


I did. I got all details on mail. There was one email for the admit, followed immediately by a mail about the scholarship.

Yes, they let me know in the phone call that I was awarded a scholarship and then a separate email from my acceptance email explained the details and amount of my award.

I am applying to Foster Full-Time MBA program in round-2 and I am getting confused with their method of GPA reporting. Are we required to report over overall undergrad GPA or the GPA based on last 60 credits (For me, this includes 8th semester courses and some 7th semester courses)?


you are required to report the overall undergrad GPA i.e. from 1st semester till 8th semester. All the best for your application!

I am applying in R2. Not sure how to convert my Indian CGPA to US grade scale. Can someone help me out..

This gmatclub link recommends 60-100% conversion to a 4 GPA on US scale
https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-conve ... 24249.html

But foster has a different method of converting which is very confusing-

Hey,

I ended up doing an approximate conversion. It was quite a chore trying to do it. I don't remember what exactly I did but I sort of looked at an equivalent scale.

I've written to them for a reconsideration. They said they'll get back by Jan 1st week. They mentioned that they do not offer full schol.

Hi All,

I am looking to apply to foster under the January cycle.
Can someone confirm if Foster will require me to give TOEFL? - I have a 4 year degree in computer science from India where medium of education was English (and so is mentioned on the transcript as well).

Hi mbapplicant2019

You do not need TOEFL for Foster as your undergraduate education was in English medium only. Your transcript should state this information. Let me know if you have more questions.

All the best!

Hi All,

I submitted my Foster application last week. When can I expect the video interview request? Also, how many days do we get to work on it?

Hi, Any help on this will be much appreciated. I read somewhere(I am not sure where) that the video invite comes almost immediately. So with each passing day, I get a bit anxious about the application.

I’m pretty sure they only release the video interview a few days after the application deadline for that Round. So no one gets the video interview link before the end of the Round, regardless of how early you submit. I believe I got the link to the video about 2-3 days after the deadline, so likely next week. Hope this helps, good luck!

They are usually quick with it. I got mine the same day. But then, you are still in the game as long as you do not get a ding. So hold tight. Also, once you get the video interview invite, you will have about 4-5 days to submit it.

Thanks Norgay and NbyNW for your replies. Since Foster's deadline is tomorrow, I'll just be patient this week.

I faced issues on my credit as well as debit cards (ICICI). I ended up using my corporate forex card.
