<p>New Brunswick is home to the premier business school at Rutgers</p>

<p>You'll want to make sure you get into New Brunswick if you are borderline. Pretty much all the students at Rutgers agree, as ferryboat10 mentioned, that New Brunswick is the premier business school for Rutgers. As a few kids in the NB Business School told me when I visited this past spring, "New Brunswick is the only place you want to be". The only thing with New Brunswick is to make sure you keep up your grades the first 2 years because you have to apply in your sophomore year to get into the business school since they have it in a 2 year program, whereas at Newark it is direct entry. It will still be hard to get into IBanking easily (also a goal of mine at the moment), but New Brunswick is your best bet.</p>

<p>ive discovered something strange so i figured id bump this. im a finance/econ major english minor at rbs newark. recently i was messing around with my.rutgers.edu and i noticed that my college affiliation changed from newark SAS to RBS newark/new brunswick (before it would say i was a finance major at SAS-N), and my events tab now displayed the new brunswick events. this was good news since i work and live in new brunswick, so i tried registering for NB classes through webreg and i was successful. SAS NB classes, RBS NB classes.... all the ones i have prereqs for i could add. whats going on?</p>

<p>Maas0890 - In Both NB and Newark, the Business School are accepting kids straight from high school. </p>

<p>snowdancer - I haven’t looked up what you are saying is happening on the rutgers site, but maybe it is because rutgers wants to intergrate the schools a bit. </p>

Students affect Johnson & Johnson’s business plan</p>

<p>A team of Rutgers-Newark Business School students took home first place in the Johnson & Johnson National Case Competition, earning the school a bit of cash and a lot of respect.
The team, comprised of junior accounting majors Adam Shaarawy and Julian Ortiz, junior finance majors Fabiola Emilio and Dimple Khatiwala, and sophomore marketing major Nimita Mittra defeated nine other business schools, including the University of Illinois, La Salle, Penn State and Rutgers-New Brunswick, to claim a $3,000 prize for student scholarships.
This year’s competition tested students’ economic, financial and marketing skills through a case study scenario, focusing on the launch of a fictional new drug in a made-up foreign market. Students were given four options — two countries and two products — and were required to match a product with a country where they felt they could maximize profit while minimizing potential risks.
The scenario was not pulled from thin air, said Joesph Markert, an associate instructor with the Rutgers Business School responsible for coordinating the University’s involvement in the competition.
“J & J’s cases always [are based on] what Johnson & Johnson has tried to do in the past, had some difficulties with it, and now they want to see if the students will come to the same conclusions that they did,” Markert said. “And if not, what was the way they interpreted the information.”
This year, the products were based on Tylenol and Tylenol Cold that could be marketed in China or Japan as a first round to enter the Asian market, Markert said.
In real life, Johnson & Johnson decided to enter the Japanese market, a move that proved troublesome because the country’s older population is prone to sticking with products they are used to, Markert said.
The Rutgers-Newark students chose to target China, a country where a younger population is always looking for new and improved products, Markert said.
Johnson & Johnson later saw their mistake and entered the Chinese market, where their products flourished, Markert said.
In addition to the $3,000 contribution to the Rutgers Business School’s scholarship funds, the five students have been honored with some individual accolades as well.
The students were presented with plaques commemorating the victory, had dinner at Johnson & Johnson and gave a presentation on how they won the competition to Business School Dean Michael Cooper and his executive committee, Markert said.
The group started preparing for the competition on Feb. 11 and were given a month to prepare their case and face off against six other Rutgers-Newark teams in mid-March, Shaarawy said in an e-mail correspondence.
After winning against the Rutgers-Newark teams, the group prepared for the National Competition held on April 3 in New Brunswick, Shaarawy said.
There was a lot of work that had to go into the project, including filling out spreadsheets and forms and figuring out everything from initial investment requirements to gross-profit marketing expenses, Ortiz said.
“We had to basically map out everything as if we were trying to penetrate this new market with this new drug,” Ortiz said.
The team developed television and radio advertisements for the product that they presented during their presentation to judges during the nationals, Mittra said.
“Our spring break was from March 14-22, however, we practiced vigorously during our break,” Shaaraway said. “From February to March, we spent approximately five hours a day analyzing, improving and practicing our case.”
Markert believes this team was able to succeed because they did exactly what Johnson & Johnson asked for and showed a profit after the first year.
“All the bases were covered to show that they completely analyzed the marketplace,” Markert said.
Preparing for the competition required a lot of business analysis from every member of the team, Mittra said.
“It was a challenge that was worth taking and also something that we all learned from,” Mittra said.
Emilio attributed the team’s victory to its talented team members.
“We are a very diverse team, we have different skills, different personalities, different backgrounds and different majors, but we could work really well as a team,” Emilio said. “That was a key factor for our success.”

<p>anyone else experience being able to enroll classes at both campuses like snow?</p>

[shy11]

<p>I was told today that it was always possible for you to take courses on any of the campuses. Because technically, you are going to the same school but in different cities.
They were allowed to take a chem course in Newark, even though they were enrolled in NB.</p>

<p>If both campuses can take classes in Newark and NB, then what distinguishes the two? What’s the point of having lowered admissions standards at Newark, when they can easily take classes at the supposedly more prestigious New Brunswick campus?</p>

[shy11]

<p>It really depends on what you are going for. For business school, Rutgers graduate Business school is taught in Newark. So one of the pro of going to Newark business school is that there is a chance you might get a graduate professor teaching you. And many of the professor that teaches at NB business also teaches Newark. at After visiting both campuses, I have concluded that the reason NB campus is more “prestigious” or better is because 1) NB is far bigger then Newark. Newark, after looking at the campus map is only about 4 city blocks in diameter. NB is about half or three fourth the size of NYC. NB campus is huge. Since NB is bigger, there will obviously be more options in terms of the classes, opportunities, and a better student life. It is harder to get into Rutgers NB is because they get so many applications. About fifty thousands applicants for a class of only a few thousand. It is easier to get into Newark because not a lot of applicants apply to there. Maybe about half to a fourth of the total amount that applies to NB apply to Newark. And Newark is mainly a commuting school. </p>

<p>You might be able to take courses at both campuses, but it might be a first-accepted first-serve-thing, at those school that aren’t as highly competitive like NB SAS or some other not-as-competitive-schools. As NB business school, that might be different, since there is only room for about 700 students. Don’t quote me on it, but that is what I am assuming. </p>

<p>In the end, it really depends on what you are majoring in.</p>
