Have any Round 3 Applicants gotten an admissions notice yet? Had my interview a few weeks ago, starting to get nervous.


It looks like the notification date is 3/30. They sometimes send out notification a bit earlier than the actual date, but I don't remember seeing anyone knowing this far in advance. I'd expect to hear something toward the middle to end of that week (last full week of March).

Good luck!

Hey all,

First off, thanks for all the advice and the info that was posted. Big help.

Next, just for the record, recently had an R3 interview in Beijing. Was interviewed by Sarah Amsbary, who was great.

Hoping for some good news!

Fellow applicants,

I would like you to know that we have a new forum for MBA debriefs where admitted members can share their admission experience.

I request the admitted students to spare some time and post their admission experience in the forum and help the other applicants. Applicants could discuss with the admitted students to learn from their experiences.

Here is the forum link: https://gmatclub.com/forum/share-your-application-experience-332/

Cheers,
KK

Hey everyone.

Foster updated their essays for this year. (Taken from https://www.foster.washington.edu/academ ... ocess.aspx)

Two essays are required and must be uploaded to your online application. The optional essay allows you to tell us more about yourself or explain an area of potential concern.

Essay 1: Post-MBA Plans (750 words maximum) - Tell us your ideas about what lies ahead for you in your career. What are the gaps or deficiencies currently preventing you from pursuing these potential career paths? How do you plan to use your time in the Foster MBA program to fill these gaps and advance your career?

Essay 2: Inspiring Profession Experience (500 words maximum) - Describe a specific experience that inspired your professional plans and prompted you to explore the MBA.

Essay 3: Optional essay (500 words maximum) - Please include this essay if you have additional information that you believe would be helpful to the admissions committee in considering your application.

I look forward to meeting some of the other people who plan on applying this year!

Just an FYI - I sent an email over asking about that choice essay. They said that it's listed on our app because we started our applications a bit earlier than they expected. They told me to ignore that essay requirement as it is not required this year.

Had my interview on the 1st. Andy Chen interviewed me over Skype, it was a really good experience. Conversational all through, I had all standard MBA questions along with few minor case studies. Overall, it went reasonably well, fingers crossed for the results!!

Pretty quiet on here. Everyone still interviewing? Just waiting? How late into November will they be offering interviews?
