College Majors Business Major

<p>Okay so i am senior in highschool who is about to go to Rutgers Business School.</p>

<p>Now i love business. I love accounting. I love the atmosphere of wall street , the feeling of OWNING a company , working as a manager. </p>

<p>The only thing is...is it over? The fact that i am going to a mediocre business school for undergrad...is it basically over?</p>

<p>I want to double major in finance/marketing & accounting. Now how can i turn my self back up (if at all)? </p>

<p>What do i need to do come college? As close to a 4.0? What GMAT Score?</p>

<p>I want to go to a prestigious Grad School ( like Columbia etc) but will i be able to from rutgers? What do i need to do to get into a good grad school from a place like rutgers?</p>

<p>OR </p>

<p>Should i transfer my sophmore year (try to atleast) in rutgers to NYU or something?</p>

<p>Show me the way CCers!</p>

<p>Get meaningful internships while in college…</p>

<p>I propose that the atmosphere of Wall Street and of owning your own company are pretty different.</p>

<p>You don’t work in finance, do you? What do you think private equity is? (Hint: it’s NOT just an asset class)</p>

<p>My advice would be to get off these forums… Reading posts on here gives a false perspective of what life really is after college. In the real world, Rutgers will get you a fine job and if you do well, you will be able to carry yourself on to a prestigious graduate school and career. In these forums, the only way to get a decent job is to obtain at least a 3.8 in college, land an internship each year, play a D1 sport, and receive an MBA at a top ten school.</p>

<p>What do you define as a fine job? </p>

<p>My goal in life is to get a job in the line of business with a salary of 100 k </p>

<p>Yeah i no money isnt everything … but honestly if i am doing something in the line of business …ill be liking my job and now a days 100 k is the base salary for a lot of top tier ocupations</p>

<p>Apayton pretty much nailed it. </p>

<p>Do your own thing, there really isn’t any need for you to transfer out of Rutgers. </p>

<p>You should know one thing though.
Some prestigious companies (Goldman Sachs, etc.) have two recruiting divisions. One for core schools (the top schools) and the other for non-core schools (schools like Rutgers). Employers don’t want practically the same people, who went to the same schools, who had the same professors, who did the same stuff.</p>
