It's a nice situation for sure, but it does not truly reflect the quality of the program or the actual employment picture when compared to the better (Top 10/20) MBA programs. One of the reasons some of the top tier programs have lower employment rates within three months after graduation is because their grads are taking their time sifting through multiple offers and negotiating the best deals they can. Accordingly, there are quite a number of these folks who have not started employment within three months, but certainly could have if they desired.

The second item to note is the rather low compensation figures for RU MBAs. $105,000 as the average is very low compared to the better schools where $175,000-200,000 is what those folks routinely receive as average compensation - particularly in finance, at elite tech firms, and in management consulting. RU simply does not measure up.

Wrong.

No way now how initial pay from MBA is 200. I was actually surprised how high it was for Rutgers. Here is Cornell's.

Pm - sorry you are simply incorrect. I know this from family members in that situation. If you do not believe me simply check out the Poets & Quants website. They list all this info.

Harvard total comp is 150

 

[pmvon]

Just sent you info from actual schools. 140 total comp from top 20 programs which RU is not.

PM - you are merely quoting the the base plus perhaps the signing bonus. Does not include another $20,000-$50,000 of additional comp.

Admittedly, the higher end is based on positions in private equity and other high end finance jobs; positions at the elite top tech firms; and the elite management consulting firms. This is the best pay for the better folks at the better schools. RU does well, but it is not remotely in the league of these other schools.

I am quoting total comp not signing bonus just like RUs as quoted in article. Just sent you the info, click on it. RU is ranked top 50 not top 20 or 10. Of course, not in same league but good and moving in the right direction.

Ok. You do make a fair point that I agree with in that RU grads who have done well in the program are doing well and moving in right direction. It's just that they are not being placed in a significant manner in the same jobs as the better schools.
