Is it possible to be retarded, but get accepted into Rutgers?
lfuckingol
Well BTbanker for the record Rutgers is a highly respected state school that according to some sources offer what is referred to as a "Public Ivy" education. Rutgers budget was at $1.6 Billion but will now be almost doubled as a result of the merger with UMDNJ to $3 billion. That increase in budget would, one would think, lead to a better overall academic experience at Rutgers. Rutgers all ready stands as a top 100 rated university nation wide, and again, with that budget increase coming one would think that rating will rise even higher.
Nothing against Rutgers as I know plenty of people from there in banking, but you're really making your school look bad right now.
Which implies: It is possible to be retarded and get into Goldman Sachs?
can someone please take the question seriously..I am currently a rutgers student with a 3.6 gpa and am extremely interested equity research. I just got into unc chapel hill as a transfer but I would have to pay 55k a yr..and I'm paying 5k for rutgers right now..I'm leaning to staying at rutgers, since I felt that if you do well at rutgers it is possible to land a FO job at goldman sachs, UBS, BAC, etc. I just needed a second opinion.
Get into NYU or Columbia grad and excel. That path is possible from Rutgers. Don't pay an extra 50k a year. $5k a year for Rutgers is a bargain.
Goldman Sachs might be out of reach however. Harvard/HBS, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia is pretty much as low as it goes for prospective GS straight out of UG/Grad.
This is not true at all. While those schools might get large recruitment, so do many other schools. As an example, I know that UNC-NC does get FO recruitment from Goldman, as do a multitude of non-ivy schools. A quick search of the forums will give you confirmation of this.
Anything is possible. Not everything is probable. Based on your appraisal, you already know that your situation falls into the latter half.
thanks..do you think it would be worth it to transfer to unc chapel hill even though I would be paying 50k more..I did get into to business school.
Unless you have great internship experience and good connections your chances are really slim with that gpa. But it's not impossible.
Never ... you will never get a chance to work on Wall Street in fact
so what kind of gpa would be needed to increase my chances..I thought once you had a 3.5 they look at internships, extracurriculars, etc..
finance975 - don't think that a UNC transfer would add much value for you. I dont recall seeing many students from there in banking, and any minor advantage you may get is mitigated by the $55k cost. I would stick to Rutgers and focus on networking - also if you're interested in equity research, make sure to reach out to all the boutiques etc. - they might be easier to get into as a first step.
Oh - and contact alums ...
thanks for the advice..does anyone know why rutgers has such a mediocre reputation on wall street?
I am a Rutgers current student and I don't know where you are getting this idea that we have a mediocre reputation on wall street while we don't have a reputation good or bad. I know people FO across the board who are Rutgers Alums and are very very willing to help current Rutgers students. Do your research before making such a bold statement about my about to become alma fucking mater.
Because you go there.
I'm sorry...this is just everyone tells me..I personally think rutgers business school is very underrated..I just wasn't sure(I'm a freshmen)
My advice is to start early, like tomorrow or Monday and look for a summer gig in anything finance related but closer to ER as possible. Start applying for SA sophomore doesn't matter whether its ER or not but something close like IB. During summer going to fall network like crazy for a SA gig anything front office but in your case ER and take it from there. Its not impossible as you think, it just need work and preparation. Try keep your GPA high as classes will start getting harder.
P.S: If you don't get into Goldman Sachs its not the end of the world. There are equally as good Ibanks out there.
Possible. Girl from my ultra non-target started as a 1st year analyst with GSAM this year. Work hard and you can do anything.
Rutgers Business School is highly underrated. Rutger's kids are known as scrappy and hardworking and the street loves it. Now Goldman Sachs tends to be a little on the Prestige whore thing so I wouldn't shoot only for that particular firm. I think you need to reach into the network because there are many FO alums. They also have a club called Little Investment Bankers or something like that....JOIN THAT!! TRUST ME.. Most of the kids from this program get onto the Street In some capacity. Also keep your grades up. Good Luck from a fellow Jersey kid.
As a Rutgers alum, I would suggest that you don't transfer to UNC at that price. Few points:
There is some type of stat at GS that they use for applicants and Rutgers is one of the schools listed on there. Not every school is so I would consider that a good thing and I hope that gives you more hope.
LOL why would you want to work in GIR?
