Find Engineering School

Archive for the ‘rutgers school of engineering’ Category

Right now im a Senior in high school. Its basically over and i start college in Fall. Im going to a Rutgers State University.

Heres the thing, i dont know what i want to do with my life. I enrolled into the Engineering program at Rutgers, but i dont think i want to do it. I was thinking of going into the medical field or business. I like helping people and I also feel i would really like doing business.

Is it too late since i didnt choose like a business school or medical program to go to? I know its still early but, i dont know what to do :[

If i do choose to do engineering, is there any careers in the medical field or business as an engineer?

Mistake? There are no "mistakes" in life–only feedback.

If you don't like the feedback, change what you're doing. If you find you don't like your major, change it. You'll spend more money and it'll probably take longer to graduate, but you'll like what you do to make money.

Hey. Im a senior in high school and im looking at college in the field of engineering. As of now, i am stuck between two, both in which i have been accepted and i have visited. I want input my others on this, so im gonna list the facts:

Engineering Campus Size:
P: 5,000 people
R: 2,000 people

Distance:
P: 3 1/2 hrs
R: 45 min – 1 hr

Cost:
P: $30,000
R: $15,000 (due to scholarship)

~ rutgers seems really good so far but then comes..

Engineering Ranking (US News):
P: 16th in the US
R: 48th in the US

so here are the facts. Please give me any advice you have whether you went to one of the colleges or not. Any other facts are also helpful.Thanks Guys.

First, you need to ask yourself what campus you like better.
-See the libraries
-See the dorms
-Explore the general landscape and aura of each campus
-Meet a professor
-Try the dining hall

Then, you need to decide how much money your parents are willing to spend on you.
-If they will pay full cost
-If you are expected to pay some
-If you need to switch majors or transfers, are these extra costs going to matter? (usually won't cost anything tho)

But maybe before all those other choices, you need to ask yourself if you will be able to stick with engineering for four or five years. If you DO get a new major, then does the desired campus have something that you can switch to?

Keep in mind that Rutgers is all one school, and the choices in Majors and Minors is exponentially abundant.

And you get to go to the football games for free at RUTGERS, which also has a nationally ranked swimming, softball, basketball, baseball, and a capella group.

Take into consideration the ethnic proportions, too.

What are my chances of getting into Rutgers University as a tranfser sdtudent? I currently go to a community college in Chicago. I have only compleated 13 credit hours so far with around a 3.3 GPA. My second semester is in progress with 17 credit hours. I plan on majoring in biomedical engineering or pharmacy. I applied to Rutgers a few days ago but I really want to know if I should get my hopes up or not. I also wrote the "optional" essay on the application explaining how I did poorly in high school but recently started living up to my potential, will that help much?

good its not such a great school

Tough choice, a serious one and gotta make it. A lot of my friends are going to Rutgers (New Brunswick), it has major school spirit as well, and it is excellent academically.

I want to go into computer science as a major (possibly computer engineering or bioengineering), and do pre-med or pre-law studies. So basically, I want to major in either CS, CE, or BE – and combine that with either med or law.

Syracuse is giving me 32 grand out and some loan to pay for about 45 grand worth of cost of attendance. It's only slightly more than Rutgers, in that I still have to conjure up 10-13 grand for both Rutgers and Syracuse…

I put more weight on academics than the fun of college, but I still want the fun as well. Which is better for my situation? Thanks.

P.S. I'm Asian, and hanging out with other azns would be great, although this is a relatively minor factor.

Hey. I am a sophmore at Rutgers. I have friends at both schools. I think Rutgers is an awesome school. It is much more difficult and challenging than I thought it would be. If you go to Rutgers for any kind of Math or Science based major, you'll definately do well. Their math and sciences are really good. As for Asians at Rutgers, you WONT have a problem. There are tons of asians especially on Busch campus. With Rutgers, you can change around as much as you want with the tons of majors they offer. Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck!

ps. Parties @ Rutgers are Awesome
