<p>Hi, This year I am a junior at the Business School. My majors are Finance and Business Analytics&IT. I also work as a Business School Ambassador so I will probably be able to answer many strange questions :) Feel free to ask!</p>
<p>Does the Business Core Curriculum involve a lot of oral presentations or group work? Do they overload you with a lot of “fluff” work to do? </p>
<p>Business Analytics major in RBS - How many they admit? Any Honors students? The major looks interesting; kind of business + computer science??? Do you think it is similar to Upenn M&T or Lehigh IBE or CSB??? What is the average GPA / average SAT or ACT to get into that program. Thanks.</p>
<p>@StilloftheNight I would say the amount of fluff depends on the professors. There are some who try to make your life hard ( I guess that’s why their section are always open lol ) but there are those who actually want you to learn. In general professors are really helpful and focus on stuff that is useful. </p>
<p>@dadof2s They admit as many people as there are that want BAIT as their major. The thing is that once you get into the business school, you are free to choose and then change your major as you wish. There is no special testing to get into the major. Once you are in the business school - you pick any of 6 majors available. My class is around 100 people this year. I would say it’s less than there are positions for this major. Business school does not offer honors program. Sometime there are honors sections open where you need a certain GPA to be allowed to get into (3.5 usually) and the content there is bigger than the regular section - professors go deeper into topics. The aim of this major is to give us computer knowledge (Excel, Java, R programming language) with practical applications (database management, investment analysis using R, Optimization modelling). I have no idea about the other programs you mentioned so I can’t comment. I don’t remember average GPA but I know the middle 50% for SAT was 1900 - 2100 for the Business School and actual percentage accepted was near 30%.</p>
<p>I think your majors are a great combination. My son can’t decide between engineering and business. How much programming is required in the BAIT major? How do internships/coops work? Does the student have to find it himself or do companies have opportunities readily available via career fairs, postings, etc.? Lastly, have you lived on campus? If so, which campus(es) and what portion of the students actually stay for the weekend? Two factors that would cause him not to attend–availability of internships (i.e., more than him just cold calling) and a social environment where half of the students return home on the weekend. Thanks for your insight. Appreciate it.</p>
<p>Does the business school have any professors that have connections to the music industry? I always wanted to get into the music profession as a performer or just be involved with it, and have an education in something useful. </p>
<p>How hard is it to get into RBS as a freshman? I am planning on applying RD as a finance major with a 3.4 UWGPA, though with three AP History courses (APUSH, WHAP and AP Gov.) and two AP math courses (Calculus AB and Statistics.) I hav a 4 or 5 in all APs, as well as a 2210 SAT score. It would be great, if you could assess my chances of getting into RBS as a freshman, and also of getting into the RBS Honors program. Also, what is unique about the Honors program? Would it provide any game-changing advantages to getting a banking career on Wall Street, such as special internships? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>@kooth12 When you come to RBS and choose BAIT, there is no programming knowledge required. In fact, one of the courses required as a pre-business courses is called 'Computer Applications for Business" and you get HTML and Javascript exposure there. Then in BAIT you have something called Foundations of Business Programming which is basically Java course. Again, nothing more than you learned in Comp App is required.</p>
<p>How do internships work? You just work with companies on different positions 
Since we have a large alumni base, we have ton of events that come and recruit heavily on campus. J&J, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Citi, JP Morgan, Target, Burlington - all of these were on campus this past week and these are only these I remember or visited. For Business School, we have our own Career Fair. It was actually this past week on Friday - There were 72 different companies and you had to be business school student to get in. Career Knight is the system where companies post open positions for full time and internships. Currently there are almost 5000 postings - and this is only the beginning of the recruiting season. It really is hard not to get an internship if you keep up the grades and attend the events.</p>
<p>I lived off camps (just 2 miles away) which is basically like as if I lived on campus. It’s hard to say how many people stay on campus. Remember it is a huge huge school with over 90% of people from NJ (small state) so a lot of people go home on weekends. However, on weekends, College Ave campus becomes a huge party place. So don’t worry, there are people over the weekend.</p>
<p>@StilloftheNight I am sure there are some people. Career Management specialist basically know everyone. I don’t know if there is any single industry out there that they would know nobody from. (excuse me for the structure, I am international, I couldnt think of anything better haha). Don’t worry - professors come from different backgrounds and companies so I know there must be someone. </p>
<p>@MrSmooth3600 Your stats look good. I think you will not have trouble getting in. There is no Honors college in the Business School however. There are some honors courses within the business school though that go much more in depth when it comes to class material.</p>
<p>Also, how hard is it to get a college GPA comparable to that of my high school GPA? I have a 3.4 UWGPA in HS, which is far from spectacular, and I wasn’t even taking as many APs as I could’ve. My goal, if I attend Rutgers, is to get at least a 3.2 GPA so that I fulfill the requirements for the Road to Wall Street program (my long-term goal is to get a career in investment banking, and this program could be instrumental into making that happen on Wall Street, from what I’ve heard,) and have a door open for a high ranking MBA program, if I choose to go down that road in the future. Do you see that happening with my imperfect high school GPA</p>
<p>Are internships required for those majoring in Supply Chain Management or just BAIT? Are the internships during the school year or during the summer? If the former, what distance away are the companies? Does one need a car? Thanks!</p>
Can i transfer from SAS into the business school? and how big are the classes at the business school?
@lovehpxx you can transfer from SAS to RBS but any scholarships you receive are non transferable. The competition to enter the business school is a lot. Google “transfer to RBS” and see what would be required if you did a school to school transfer. As for how big the classes are, idk sorry
Are internships required for all of the majors in RBS? Are the internships during the school year or during the summer? If the former, what distance away are the companies? Does one need a car? Thanks!
Hello, I decided to reactivate the thread so please feel free to ask questions!
Hi, 450yamaha , do you know if a student got accepted into SAS honors program, is s/he automatically in RBS honors program also when the student enrolled with RBS? Can’t find much info from the Honors program site on this. Thank you in advance!
There is no such thing as ‘honor program’ in the RBS. If you are in SAS honors program AND you are a student in the RBS, you can then take honors classes in the RBS. Then the classes are smaller in size and more material is presented during the semester.
