My unofficial transcript loaded, and it says “pre-major”
Anyone who applied for business administration and freshman direct to fosters: do you have the same thing or is it pre-business?
Because the lady at Foster’s did say that it will take an extra 2 weeks to mail their freshman direct decisions, but I was just wondering what all you business people have.
My unofficial transcript also says “pre-major.” Actually, mine says “arts & sciences” next to it. This might be because my second choice was digital arts, but I’m not sure. Does your unofficial transcript mention foster?
Same here, it says “pre-major” and next to it “Arts & Sciences” as a college because my second choice was Economics.
Mine says the same thing even though my first choice was Foster’s and my second was cinema studies. Hmmm.
Hope we get our first choice guys!
Actually, it is explained here: “Business majors will be assigned pre-major which is part of the College of Arts & Sciences”

Anyone know when they’re gonna announce the decisions for Foster?
They said it will be after we get our mailed decision and anytime until my 1st… However my friend who was a direct admit last year said it was only a couple days after she received her mailed decision.
Also, have any business majors received letters? All of the business major applicants at my school (Olympia) have not received them. Hopefully Foster is looking over them!
Guys, check your unofficial transcripts! My major just changed to “business administration!” Now the college is “business school.”
@emmysss what are your stats if you don’t mind me asking? Really nervous about the business school, hoping my 4 years of DECA show that I am committed!
@emmysss same!! just got a change from the Pre-Major for Arts/Sciences to Business Administration for the Business School!
Mine says College: Business School, Major: Business Administration. Does that mean I got in with the freshman direct?
ahhhh you are all so lucky 
You are so lucky guys, is anyone of you international? Mine didn’t change, still “PRE MAJOR (A&S)”
I’m really hoping to get into DA for Foster, I’m sure we all are! Would those of you who got in through DA mind posting your stats to give the rest of us an idea if we have a chance?
If the changed transcript means I’m in…
