How is MBA at Foster school of Business ? Is it true they don't accept International students who apply during Round 2 of admission?
Anyone with any insights, please share!

pearl1607 hi,
Shimri from ARINGO here (LBS grad myself)
In my 7 years at ARINGO, Foster is one of my favorite schools
I love the school culture, location, and job placement at "local" companies such as AMAZON or Microsoft (or Boing or Starbucks )

I have worked with many many international candidates and applied many times in R2 with awsome results, so not sure who told you this? but it ain't true!

For a deeper profile analysis:
Please send me your CV, GMAT score and slipt, the school wish line and any additional information to ShimriW@ARINGO.com and we can take it from there

Hi Shimri,

CGPA - 8.64 ( GPA > 3.7)
GRE score - 305 ( not given GMAT )
TOEFL - 109
Job experience - 5 year 10 months in IT (working currently)

Here is the list of Universities am interested in applying:

McGill University - Desautels Faculty of Management
Queen's University - Smith School of Business
University of British Columbia - Sauder School of Business
University of Toronto - Rotman School of Management
Western University - Ivey Business School

If i attempt GMAT, i will be able to apply in R2 for all universities but am not expecting a high score.

Please evaluate my profile and suggest what are my chances of getting in the above universities.

Also, if I apply in R2 , what are the chances for international students, as i've heard chances of acceptances are pretty slim in Round 2.

no stats for the tech mba?

Any news on Foster getting STEM accreditation?

How to get exempt from TOEFL/ILETS if my undergraduate degree is from an institution where all instruction is in English ? Where to provide the document for the same?

The medium of instruction is in English. This statement needs to be there in official transcript of Undergrad degree. Sometimes, the criteria changes with the country.

Is the Foster MBA STEM certified? I hope I didn't miss it on the website.

I guess it's not

In one of the admission session I asked this question to the admission director and she confirmed for 2023 MBA STEM will be done. They also have electives which will make the MBA STEM

This is great news then!

Foster officially announced STEM management science concentration
