Your major won’t be as much of an issue if you plan on getting an MBA later on (if UW is a feeder school). Many businessmen never majored in business specifically, but instead worked in a business related field after graduating then continued on to get MBAs, and from my friends and family’s experiences, many of them (in their 20s) did a science undergrad, bot got internships in other fields like law and accounting, then went to graduate schools in either med, comp sci, and finance. They didn’t have trouble with finding internships outside of their field, and kept reminding me that employers just want to see that “Bachelor’s Degree” tag posted on your resume, and you can explain your goals in your interviews. Hope that gives you some insight!

I am applying as a transfer to UW’s Foster School of Business too, but I’m from out of state so the price is pretty steep. If you don’t mind me asking, what are the main selling points and strengths of foster?
