I’m considering applying to Baruch for the MS Marketing program. I’m curious to know what your experience has been at this school - how do you like your teachers? Does it offer a lot of opportunities for networking, internships, employment etc? What’s the community like there?
I’m exploring Pace MS programs too, but I hear Baruch is a better school academically and is more preferable to employers. What’s your opinion on Baruch vs Pace?
How hard is it to achieve 4.0 GPA in accounting? How are the exams structured? Any recommendations? I’m currently transferring to Baruch in the spring semester (2020).
Hey guys, I am currently a junior at Georgia State University in Atlanta, pursuing a BBA in finance. Not to shit on my school, but it's next to impossible to break into Wall Street coming from a non-target. As such, I figured that once I graduate from here, I should try my best to pursue a Masters of Science in Finance, preferably from an elite institution. It goes without saying, but from what I've read, Zicklin definitely fits into that category. Top BBA, MBA, and various other programs as shown on the numerous lists of rankings. So, I was hoping I could get some input from any current/former business students or anyone who knows anything about the MSF program or the b-school in general. How hard is it to get into the MSF? What kind of things does the adcom look for? I know that for MBAs, they need a decent amount of work experience, but does the same rule apply for MSF applicants? The only work experience I have is a summer working in a grocery store and again, not to shit on my school, but our career services is garbage and I seriously doubt I'll be able to land an internship with a respectable firm, let alone an investment bank. So that would leave me with zero work experience (assuming nothing opens up before I apply for the MSF program and more than likely nothing will). What can I do to boost my chances of getting into the program? With respect to career services and job placement at Zicklin, how is it for finance majors? Seeing as how they are in such close proximity to the school, do all the bulge brackets recruit at Zicklin? Are they mostly front office roles or middle and back office? Do people get into M&A or S&T? Which of the BBs recruits the heaviest? Any management consulting firms like Bain, BCG, etc.? I would definitely appreciate any help, advice, or suggestions anyone could give me. Thanks a lot guys, take it easy!
Hello r/Baruch,
I am a going to be a senior at a top SUNY School and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to the chances of being accepted into the MS in Accounting Program at Baruch.
My GPA is at a 3.5 (Overall and Major), an officer in a fraternity, and doing an accounting internship. I am going to be doing some volunteer work this year and plan on taking the GMAT in 2 weeks.
My goal is to one day work at the Big 4 and I've been told that Baruch was a recruitment powerhouse of sorts. If anyone has any experience with this, I would greatly appreciate any advice or critiques. Thanks!
Hi all,
I’m finishing up my undergrad degree in California and I am considering Zicklin for my masters in marketing, starting in Fall 2022.
I have a 3.4 GPA at my current university and plan on submitting a GMAT score with my application.
Can anyone let me know if I’ll be a competitive candidate for admission? Any other general opinions/advice are welcome as well.
Appreciate it!
I've got an admit from Zicklin's MS in Business Analytics program and was having some trouble reaching out to the people currently enrolled in the same. I've already tried linkedin. Can someone suggest me a way to contact them. I've general questions about the courseware, cost, placement opportunities and the environment.
So i was looking at this and am wondering if the 60 units policy would apply if I am completing my pre-business courses this semester with 58 credits.
I appreciate any feedback . Thank you.
I’m emailed them btw just want to see if anyone had a similar experience .
I am an NYC resident planning to embark upon graduate degree. I am trying to choose between MS in IS (information systems) from Baruch College's Zicklin school and MS in BI&A (business intelligence and analytics) from Stevens Institute of Technology. They're NOT comparables as apples-to-apples but the fees difference between the two programs is a killer.
On paper the Stevens MS BI&A program looks more packed with courses that help me develop skills for data analyst roles. I am yet to speak to professors or students from Baruch so for now I am neutral on Baruch's program.
Being an NYC resident I qualify for resident fees from Baruch bringing my tuition to ~6k per semester. In Stevens the tuition is ~18k per semester, and since it's a 3 semester course I would be paying ~18k in Baruch vs ~54k in Stevens.
I would be glad if someone could opine if such difference in costs is worth spending for Stevens? If I choose Stevens then does a good job nullify this cost difference? How strong good is reputation of Baruch in NYC job market?
As mentioned before, I cannot get into Zicklin because I missed the GPA requirement. I am thinking about doing Economics at Weissmann but I was reading the Pre-Core requirements and realized that it said that I would need 2 semesters of the same language in order to declare my major.
I have not taken any language requirements thus far and was wondering if this means that I have to take the language requirements before I can begin taking the Economics courses at Weissmann or I can take the language courses in conjunction with the Economics courses at Weissmann after switching schools.
Thank you!
Im a transfer student and I still haven't gotten the hang of it. So you take pre-requisites to get into your school of choice. Are there school specific classes that you have to take after getting in or do you just take your regular classes? also, are there holds that prevent you from taking certain classes if you're not in a specific school yet?
I have been accepted as a transfer student for the Fall, having just earned my AAS from LaGuardia.
Seeing as how I need to take about 8 more classes before I can even enter Zicklin (for CIS), I figure I may as well do it at LaGuardia since my summer semester is already paid for (since financial aid covers it as spring2 for those who don't know)
Anyways, Since I just graduated, I'm hesitant as to whether the classes I take in the Summer at LGA will be considered for transfer evaluation upon their completion.
I mean they should, right?
I assume somebody here has had a comparable experience and can help shed some light.

“Overseas buyers were a force in the market in 2014-2016,” said Thomas Davidoff, associate professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. It’s “less clear that is a strong effect now.” He does not think banning or taxing overseas buyers will be very effective as existing taxes have limited their participation in the market to a very small share of all transactions.
Yan said Canada is catching up with other countries when it comes to policies for overseas buyers. Countries like Singapore, Malaysia and China all have very clear policies for foreign buying.
Also, Yan thinks federal policies in terms of mortgages, interest rates, taxes, even immigration and immigration support systems have an impact on housing.
“Generally speaking, Canada undertaxes housing and overtaxes income and sales. That system invites people to invest in housing here without making a living here, including both Canadians and foreigners,” said Davidoff. Higher property taxes (e.g., federal capital gains tax on owner gains above a certain threshold) and lower income and sales taxes would lessen the incentive to hold vacation or empty homes.
Inflation due to low-interest rates after COVID-19 is making things worse. “The concerns about inflation on houses are very different than on food prices. For food, you have substitutes so that you can move into other cheap choices. But for housing, there’s a point at which you will be living in the street,” said Yan.
Rezel said when the housing crisis occurred in Singapore in the 1970s, the Singaporean government decided that the only solution was for the government to be involved, so it invested a lot of money in housing. “But the Canadian government just leaves this to everyone else.”
“To improve affordability, either you need to increase the salaries or reduce the home prices,” Rezel said. The former means tripling salaries for many people in Vancouver, which is impossible. And no party in this federal election wants to introduce any measure that will reduce home prices because that will upset voters who are homeowners.
Over 60 per cent of Canadian households own homes, and recent data shows that 20 per cent of homeowners i

Hi All,
Any input on University of Guelph, Business Schools?
Thanksss
This semester I was admitted to a major in the school of business. Most of my grades are perfectly fine but there is one class I am worried about.
The school of business has a requirement to keep above a 2.0 gpa in all relevant classes at all times or you are subject to dismissal, and I would like to know how this actually works.
If I don't get at least a 2.0 in this one Finance course, will I be removed from the major and the school of business? Any info would be really appreciated.
