good schools in NY for business majors

<p>Hello! I am an international student looking for schools in New York area. I am not planning on applying to any private schools because of the financial reasons. I heard that CUNY Baruch college is pretty famous for its business programm but I am not sure if its well respected school outside of New York. Are CUNY and SUNY schools well recognized outside of New York? What schools would you recommend? BTW, I would prefer to live in the city, but will consider other good schools outside of NY city. Thanks.</p>

<p>If u can afford NYU go for it. yes baruch is really good for business i know a few ppl there. Sometimes ppl mix up CUNY's and think that they are community colleges. They r the same as SUNY's except in the 5 boroughs, so i would think that they would be well respected.</p>

<p>Just to plug my own school i would say northeastern, just because its in the middle of boston and there b-school is pretty selective.</p>

<p>I would at least give NYU a shot. You might end up with a good aid package, and Stern is one of the best undergrad business schools in the country (#2 for finance right after Wharton).</p>

<p>Do you mind sharing your credentials with us? What is your unweighed GPA? How did you do/plan on doing on your SAT/ACT? What are your ECs like? How much can your folks afford? The more you give us, the better we can help you. </p>

<p>Oh, one more thing, does it HAVE to be Business, or are you open to other similar programs, like Economics, Idustrial and Labor Relations etc...</p>

<p>I'll echo trying for NYU anyways. If you can get into Stern, heck, I'd even be for taking out extra loans if you need to. Your post-college opportunities will likely be enough to defray the cost of those loans.</p>

<p>If ghvb would not apply to any private schools because of the financial reasons, then NYU is way too expenses for him/her. I would pick Queens College and Brooklyn College in the CUNY system. They are respectaful schools in the NYC. Ghvb should also consider CCNY or Hunter. Outside of NYC, I would suggest that he/she apply to Stony Brook, which is about 2 hours away from NYC. SUNY New Paltz is also about 2 hours north of NYC. They can all provide a sound education in a reasonable price.</p>

<p>Please note that they are not high selective schools but they are very known in the tri-state area.</p>

<p>Do you know what the OP's financial situation is, as well as what the fin. aid package they would receive from NYU would be? </p>

<p>No private school is out of anyone's financial reach.</p>

<p>I don't know how much financial aids will NYU give to international students, but that was not the OP's questions. Sure, we can also add Wharton, Berkeley and Harvard to his list of NY public schools search. However, if he can not get a good package from those private schools, some of the above SUNY and CUNY schools would be a good backup for him/her.</p>

<p>It will be great that OP can go to NYU with a full ride. Good luck.</p>

<p>my bro got into NYU and they only gave him $2000 in aid. That sucked cuz he really wanted 2 go there. If he did go, then i wouldnt have been able to go to college</p>

<p>NYU isn't exactly generous when it comes to financial aid, but if the OP really wants an NYC biz school, it's still worth a shot.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your responses. I guess that NYU is too expensive for me, but I do agree that this is a good school, especially for a business degree. I am a junior transfer now and I live on the west coast. So I guess I will transfer as an out of stater. My GPA is 3.2 now, which is not so impressive and I don't know what ECs means. Also, I live in the US for 5 years and I work full-time while attending my college. I was thinking that public schools are going to be cheaper, plus you can get a better financial package so thats basically why I am considering this option. I am looking for something around 15K per year. Also, I love New York and it was my dream to come here someday, so I am looking forward to go to college there, even if it means I have to take a loan and pay for the school for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>Unless they recently started this year, NYU does not offer aid to international students and gives very limited aid (if any ) to transfer students. They do not meet 100% of your demonstrated need (big gaps in the financial aid package) and the majority of the aid given is in the form of loans.</p>

<p>For the money, you will get an excellent education at CUNY-Baruch. Affordable in NYC may be another issue.</p>

<p>*US News and World Report has ranked Baruch’s full-time MBA program as the best graduate business degree granted by a public institution in New York State, and 64th among all graduate business programs in the nation, according to the magazine’s 2006 edition of “America’s Best Graduate Schools.” The ranking reflects a considerable advance over last year’s 87th-place position on the influential national list, and emphasizes the College's growing national reputation as a center for excellence in business education. </p>

<p>The Zicklin School’s full-time MBA ranks third overall in New York City, behind Columbia University’s School of Business and NYU’s Stern School of Business. The magazine also rated the program 33rd in its list of the top public MBA programs in the country. Baruch’s part-time MBA program was rated the 25th best in the country.*</p>

<p>The improved standing of the graduate program comes on the heels of last year’s ranking of the undergraduate business program as 48th in the nation, which represented a significant advance. US News and World Report also named Baruch the most diverse college in America last year, awarding the College that honor for the sixth year in a row.</p>

<p>NYU's financial aid is awful, so I hear.</p>

<p>NYU financial aid is terrible I can factually state this being an NYU grad returning in the fall $7500 in scholarships, $33,000 in loans.</p>
