A Message from Sigrid
Welcome to Spring quarter! I hope all of you had a wonderful break and you’re coming back refreshed and ready to go!
As you settle back into student-mode this week, I have a couple of items to highlight:
1st year MBAs: If you haven’t already met with me to discuss your academic plan for next year, please make your appointment soon, using the appointment scheduling link. The deadline to complete this task is May 4.
2nd year MBAs: You should have received an email with your final progress-to-degree message concerning finishing up your degree requirements this quarter. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me ASAP. I want to see all of you crossing the stage to receive your diploma in June!
Finally, be sure and take some time to take a walk over to the quad this week to see the cherry trees in bloom. It’s a sight not to be missed!
Have a good week,
Sigrid Olsen

In the latest edition of the U.S. News MBA Rankings the Foster Full Time MBA Program rose from #27 to #22 this year. The Evening MBA Program rose from #18 last year to #13 this year. This ranking by U.S. News ranks only MBA programs located in the United States. The ranking is based on a survey of dean’s and MBA directors of each of the 500+ AACSB-accredited schools being surveyed (.25), a survey sent to ten people who recruit from each of the schools (.15), the mean salary plus average signing bonus of the most recent graduating class (.14), the percentage of the most recent graduates seeking jobs who were employed at graduation (.07), the percentage of the most recent graduates employed 3 months after graduation (.14), the average GMAT of the entering class (.25), the average GPA of those in entering class from a school using a 4.0 grading system (.075), and the percentage of candidates accepted from the entire pool of applicants(.0125).

Fellowships & Financial Aid CLASS OF 2018: SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION REMINDER 2nd-Year Scholarships – Application Period ends April 15, 2018 While there is no priority if you submit the application early, it is important to complete the application process by the priority deadline of April 15. Another step that domestic students (i.e., US citizens and permanent residents) should take is to file the FAFSA, even if you don’t think you will have need. If you’ve already done so, great! If not, you can still do this important step.
