TCNJ for finance, Temple for Biology/Premed, Seton Hall for chemistry/premed, Rutgers for engineering, Drexel for engineering + 5 year co-op
All of these colleges are similarly priced due to need-based aid. I picked several different majors because I was a bit undecided on what I wanted to do so I just hoped I would have one obvious choice but that didn’t happen.
A lot of my friends say its impossible to get a quality job by going to somewhere like TCNJ for finance but is there any statistics of TCNJ’s wall-street employment rates?
I’m not sure if I prefer a small school or big school so if anyone could input if they enjoy/enjoyed their experience at any of these schools, that’d be helpful.
Which sounds the best purely out of future potential salary and employment if I don’t have any real preference between the majors?
Little chance of Wall Street from TCNJ. Engineering has the highest starting salary. Med School has the highest ending salary but also has a huge expense to go with it and a long time line.
@apache21 Look at LinkedIn for data on TCNJ. You will find it well represented in finance. Financial Services is the 5th most popular career track. My advice to you is major in Accounting, however. I would say that to virtually every student for undergrad.
Well, what do you really want to study?
I can’t say I have a preference. I find all of them interesting but nothing really comes out and makes it essential for me to pursue @ucbalumnus
apache@ with all due respect your friends are misinformed. TCNJ was just ranked #35 best b-school in the country.
by far best in NJ. The accounting department alone was ranked #20. In fact EY has the accounting lab named after it.
As onthebubble said just check a few sources.
If you go to Rutgers or Drexel how hard/easy would it be to transfer to a finance/accounting major if engineering does not work out?
Are you attracted to the idea of a co-op? Have you visited all the campuses?
