<p>Should I go with Rutgers NB Business School or Fordham CBA?</p>
<p>Major in finance</p>
<p>have you been accepted to either school? if so, have you visited?</p>
<p>Fordham is ranked the 27th best business school in the nation according to Business Week. There strong core curriculum and internship opportunities are insurmountable. I would definitely choose Fordham. Best of luck.</p>
<p>Jersey is a dump. Fordham owns Rutgers.</p>
<p>Obviously, most people here are going to say Fordham.</p>
<p>If you plan to stay and work in the NYC area after graduation, a finance degree from NB and CBA are pretty much equal. If you are a Jersey resident, I would go with Rutgers, the cost is approximately a 1/3 of Fordham's. The Rutger degree is probably more valuable on the Jersey side of the Hudson, while Fordham's is more valuable on the New York side. This is coming from a former CBA grad. If your intention is to work outside of the NYC area, Fordham's degree is way more valuable and worth the cost. I work in New England, people here recognize Fordham, few know Rutgers.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. RNmikeI
I am a resident of NJ but plan on getting a job in the city.
I have been accepted into both colleges, but my first choice was Stern, got rejected.
I am looking to transfer after my first year.
Which would be a better option to transfer out from?</p>
<p>well gpa will certainly be a factor. and so will transferring credits. so speak to the school you plan on transferring to and see what classes they'd want you to take. if both cores at rutgers and fordham meet the requirements for classes that can be transferred, then i'd go with the 'easier' and cheaper school. not sure where rutger stands but cba is ranked 23rd (?) as a business school. so not sure if that helps when transferring or if they take that into consideration at all. anyways you should go to whatever school you attend with an open mind. think of it sort of like this. what if i apply to transfer and the school doesn't accept me? then you're sort of stuck. so in that scenario, would you like the school you're in? that's possibly your best approach. no grades or activities or prestige is a guarantee when transferring. for example, someone from a community college could just as easily transfer to the school you want to go to than someone going to either rutgers or fordham. that's just how admissions work. think of that for a bit. i thought of transferring too when i got rejected from my first choice school. even called them up to find out what i had to do. before my first semester even started, i was pretty content with the school i went to (fordham) and just sort of accepted the situation I was in.</p>
<p>njnets,</p>
<p>For the most part, I agree with BP-TheGuy88. Also keep in mind is this going to be your final degree. If your intention is to go on for an MBA, I would stay with Rutger's and concentrate on keeping a high GPA, which might be easier there than at Fordham. A couple years of experience, with a decent GMAT score and a GPA above 3.5, you could probably have your pick of NYU, Columbia, or even Wharton. People tend to judge by your final degree, if you have an MBA from NYU, nobody will care if your Bachelor's was from the University of Phoenix. </p>
<p>By the way, Business Week has Fordham ranked 27, while Rutger's is ranked 50. The top 3 business schools for undergrad in the NYC area are NYU, Fordham, and Rutgers.</p>
<p>I know some who got rejected from stern so they went to rutgers for 2 years then transfered to stern. All you have to dois keep a high gpa. nyu is much easire wen it comes to transfers</p>
<p>puppysofly, I heard otherwise. Stern is hard to transfer into, or so rumor says.</p>
<p>I'm stuck between these 2 choices as well. I haven't been accepted to Fordham, but I'm hoping for it. I've already been accepted to Rutgers.</p>
<p>I thought it might be easier at Rutgers than at Fordham. Plus, the commute is shorter.</p>
<p>Yea im content with going to both Fordham and Rutgers, but NYU is my dream school. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated</p>
