<p>Yes, stern is a good school. No, it's no Wharton, but it still is quite good. Congrats.</p>
<p>Wharton's an amazing school. But so is Stern.
I'd love to go to Stern. You're fine.</p>
<p>congrats, see you next year.</p>
<p>Oh I forgot...Congrats. Hopefully I'll get to see you in 2007 (yay class of 07). :D</p>
<p>Join the club, I (along with half of stern) was also rejected from wharton. Nobody here at stern has problems finding good work after college. greats internships. congrats.</p>
<p>Haha. Yea....when I was at the Stern Scholars Orientation a lot of the kids there were rejected from Wharton, although there were people admitted.</p>
<p>i wonder if there are people who get into Wharton but pick Stern instead? probably a very small minority. it would be cool though.</p>
<p>can someone please tell me what Rutgers ranks in finance? Thanks</p>
<p>how about the ranking of actuarial science ?</p>
<p>Rutgers ranks 77th overall (tied with 9 others) among business schools. USNW only ranks the top 24 finance schools--and Rutgers was not listed as one of those.</p>
<p>Actuarial Science was not listed--Insurance/Risk is listed. In case the list is not given above, it is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Univ of Pennsylvania</li>
<li>Georgia State
3-4. Georgia
3-4. Wisconsin (madison)</li>
<li>Illinois</li>
<li>Florida State
7-8. NYU
7-8. Temple</li>
<li>South Carolina (Columbia)
10-12. Connecticut
10-12. Michigan (Ann Arbor)
10-12. Texas (Austin)</li>
</ol>
<p>All the major names will probably get you an acturial science job. Does anyone know the salary of an acturial scientist.</p>
<p>Whats acturial science?</p>
<p>There's no such job as an actuarial science. You'd be an actuary.</p>
<p>What the heckel is acturial science?</p>

actuaries work for insurance and investment companies and work on incredibly complex analytical problems like determining what the premium rate structure should be for long term health care insurance ... acutaries are among the highest paid undergraduate jobs; they are also very-very difficult to be hired into.</p>
<p>Well said 3togo, I will also like to add that there is almost nothing fun involving jobs of actuaries. It is considered to be one of the most boring jobs on teh planet. Ibanking is considered much more interesting than actuaries. So it is realllllly boring.</p>
<p>As I recall there are 9 tests to pass to get to the top level, I think you have to pass the first 5 of these to be called an actuary. All of these tests are mathematically intensive and very difficult. I don't know the salary range for the position, but it is quite a bit above average.</p>

I certainly understand why some people would think that ... as an operations research / industrial engineering undergrad I believe being an actuary right of school would have been a compelling analytical job for me ... but I am pretty far off the analytical geek scale ... I need OptimizerDad to jump in an back me up!</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, but Industrial Engineering and Operations research is a great major for a lot of socially realted business careers too. Such as Investment Banking and Trading and Consulting. I am talking specifically about the boredom of acturial science.</p>
