<p>So I just started the undergrad business program at UWB. But I've been thinking about applying to the Foster program for winter or spring quarter. what do you guys think I should do?</p>
<p>Should I complete my undergrad program at UWB or try and transfer to finish my undergrad at the Seattle campus?</p>
<p>It’s always worth to give something a try. Especially if it’s free.</p>
<p>What are your stats? (including the WSA)</p>
<p>Might as well try, but if you don’t get into Foster, then finish at UWB. </p>
<p>What’s your focus, btw? Because what I understand is that only Accounting matters as a material difference.</p>
<p>WSA had an average score of 4.5. And applications are free?</p>
<p>My focus is accounting, so what does that mean?</p>
<p>UWB has business secondary accreditation through AACSB but not accounting. However, that only matters if you plan on practicing as a CPA in New Mexico, Alabama or New York State.</p>
<p>Do you have a source?</p>
<p>I remember at my orientation last summer, the advisor was explaining that UWB just became an an accreditation school. And she said accounting was the only formal concentration that they offer, meaning it’ll show up on my transcript as opposed to another concentration not showing on my transcript since it’s not formal.</p>

<p>[AACSB</a> International | The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business](<a href=“http://www.aacsb.edu%5DAACSB”>http://www.aacsb.edu)</p>
<p>They list UW Bothell among their secondary business accredited institutions, along with UW Tacoma and UW Seattle (Foster). But they do not list them on the accounting list. Meaning if you wanted to practice in the 3 states that care, that you would need a MAcc.</p>
<p>Oo I see. Well I don’t plan in practicing there. </p>
<p>Should I try applying to foster? And apps are free?</p>
<p>Foster might want you, but the UW itself most likely won’t (unless you have a really good reason WHY you want to transfer).</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. So you think I should apply to foster? Are apps free like seatac mentioned ?</p>
<p>It’s free to Foster, not to the UW… But you can take advantage of a waiver if you or your parents don’t make much. I would try.</p>
<p>I apologize for the confusion, I’m trying to multi task with this while working. So it’s free to apply for admission at the foster business school at UW? But not free for general admission? Is that what you’re trying to say?</p>
<p>Well, you see, you have to apply both to Foster and the University itself. They have separate applications that you have to fill out. Foster’s is free for everyone, but you also have to apply to the University (and as you know they charge application fees).</p>
<p>If you go to UW - Bothell and you want to go to UW - Seattle, you will need to apply to get into UW - Seattle as a transfer student. If you want to major in business you will ALSO need to apply to Foster</p>
<p>As everyone else has said, you’ll need to apply to UW Seattle AND the Business major, so there’s two hoops to jump through. Transferring to UW Seattle from a four year university is difficult, as most of their transfer admits are from community colleges. If coming from a satellite campus gives you an edge, they haven’t shown any indications that this is the case. </p>
