University of Washington Foster school

i dont necessarily think that R4 is a bad time to apply because it could go both ways. If UW has not been able to fill up the spots and more importantly by now most people will have sent in the deposits (like me) then I think UW will get a little weary about whether the percentage of people that they are hoping to enroll will actually enroll. So, they might just admit a few more people in R4 to compensate for that. Having said that, I had noticed that in 2006, they only took in 87 people which I am sure was because of bad enrollment percentages. I asked my interviewer this question and as expected his answer was something like: Our target class size is 100 but if by any chance we dont get people according to you admission standards then we will be happy with anything less than 100. Their actions however suggested something different to me. In 2007 they took in 117 people. Now this suggests to me that UW overcorrected and got very weary of its enrollment rates and admitted a lot more people than they wanted to. In 2007 the enrollment rates went up and they ended up with a bigger class size. I guess it's tough being a B school because people just have so many choices. It's a buyer's market out there. So all you R4 guys, I guess this helps and boosts ur morale!!!!!
