In the unfortunate event I don't get accepted to Foster business school

<p>I plan on applying to the Foster Business school for winter '13. But if I don't get accepted, what should I do next? I would love to be accepted to the Foster Business school and study accounting but I have to have other options if it doesn't workout.</p>

<p>My other options would be to study accounting either at UW Bothell, Seattle University, or Central Washington in the Edmonds Campus. I want to in school in the puget sound area</p>

<p>Anyone have tips on what I should do if I can't get into Foster?</p>

<p>UWB would be the best alternative. Why? Because it’s still the University of Washington! “The University of Washington” will be on your diploma, it will be just “given” (written on the diploma, I believe) in Bothell.</p>

<p>You can also take advantage of their “cross enrolling” ([UW</a> Advising - Cross-Campus Registration](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/registration/ccregi.php]UW”>http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/registration/ccregi.php)) and take several classes at UW Seattle. It’s 15 credits/year limit, which means you could possibly study 2 quarters out of the remaining 6 at UW Seattle (assuming you will be enrolled full time). </p>

<p>Seattle University would be very expensive, just like any other private school. Can you afford it?</p>

<p>CWU doesn’t have the same reputation like the UW has… Plus, it’s a satellite campus.</p>

<p>Yeah, UWB would be fine. It’s fully accredited and a fine school. I would also ask if maybe you would like to still go to UW Seattle and instead study Economics or something else.</p>

<p>But I wouldn’t do CWU or Seattle U.</p>

<p>I know this is an old thread but…</p>

<p>A little known secret about the econ department: Certificates. Like this one: [Certificate</a> in Quantitative Managerial Economics](<a href=“http://www.econ.washington.edu/instruction/undergrad/cert_manage.html]Certificate”>http://www.econ.washington.edu/instruction/undergrad/cert_manage.html) in “Quantitative Managerial Economics.” It is a business-focused economics degree, and includes accounting classes as well. If your math skills are up to it, I’d say do that over going to a different school.</p>
