<p>I am Senior in HS and joining Rutgers this year or whenever and am persuing a business major</p>
<p>Rutgers has an undergrad business school but i was wondering after how many years of undergrad do i go on to apply for grad school?</p>
<p>Has anyone from graduated from Rutgers undergrad (business) and made it to a top firm in the business world?</p>
<p>What do you suggest i do ?</p>
<p>i know you apply to rutgers business school during your sohpmore year and then take classes there junior and senior year. as for getting a job, i don't know.</p>
<p>You are naive.
It take's a lot of time, effort, and dedication (to one firm) to attain a high ranking corporate job. Unless you start your own company (which won't thrive from the start) you will not become a CEO right after you get your undergraduate degree.
There are plenty of opportunities for business jobs after you graduate, but before you do, make sure you have 3-5 years working experience. Employers would love the experience but so would graduate schools. Most Wharton Grad students are accepted with that much work experience and with GMAT scores between 650 and 750 (out of 800).
Give yourself another 10 or 15 years after you recieved your MBA and you will probably move up the leaderboard.
And yes, people have left Rutgers and became very successful. The presidents of Prudential Insurance and PSE&G, founder of ESPN, and former presidents of Verizon and Gimbels are all alumni.</p>
<p>EarthlyDelights.It is wonderful to think you are the voice of reason on this board,but we are dealing with high school and college kids here.They are going to ask vague questions...thats what this board is all about.I do find your rebuttles insightful,but try to be a little more reasonable with your responses.Calling someone naive because they ask a retorical question is not out of contex.Myself being an older student at Rutgers, I can say that I find the academics very rigorous...sometimes down right ridiculous.This is coming from someone who attended Cornell Univ.and transfered with the hopes of saving money and less rigor.I was wrong.I'm finding the academics to be much more difficult here.This semester I had a 3.4,while at Cornell I had a 3.85. Obviously each case is different,but I wouldn't find mine out of the norm.Anyway,getting back to the subject of business schools,I think Rutgers Business School is Top Shelf,and difficult to get into.Is it Harvard,Wharton,or Stanford?...no.But these schools always come up when mentioning Rutgers prominence.Not to shabby.If Rutgers was being belittled at the behest of Montclair State,Fairleigh,and St Peters,then all the comments that instate people make would be justified.</p>
