Hi, Im from India..I've got the acceptance letter from RIT,saunders school of business and Hofstra, Frank Zarb school of business.
Hofstra also offered a scholarship of 8000$ per year.

I have some friends in rochester city n wanted to go there.
But,Im really concerned about various factors like placements..curriculum..faculty n starting salary package from these 2 universities..
Which school would you suggest? How's RIT's MBA Finance? Anyone to help??

who is RIT? I have never hear about this school.

I think there is some confusion here with people thinking about Rochester - Simon.

between Hofstra and Rochester - Simon you might be weighing your options, but RIT is totally unknown.

RIT is rochester institute of technology and very well known too. I wonder why havn't u heard of it....
Well...so if i look at the curriculum..should go for RIT? right?
Just wanted to know MBA Finance is better at Hofstra or RIT?

Man...Im really getting more and more confused....I dont know anyone near hofstra..whereas i have some of my frnz studying in rochester and nearby areas...
Alright,keeoing everything aside...do you know the starting package that a student gets after getting a degree from hofstra? or have any idea of the starting package of MBA's from RIT?

Moreover..the living and personal expenses at hofstra are much more than the tuition fee....So,if hofstra is giving us a scholarship,it wont realy help as the living expenses are quite high there....because i went through the graduate residence hall rates..n found them expensive..it'll cost us abt Rs35,000 per month+ food+transportation+ books and other expenses....
I would like to know..what is the scene with ur friend studying there..?

By accomodation...u r reffering to on-campus living or off-campus?? If this is the scenario..then it's quite impressive and affordable. Actually the cost of our investment should be less than the return...Do you have any idea regarding the starting package a student gets after getting his/her degree in MBA from Hofstra..?
By the way,thanks for the info dude!!

It is Off Campus. On Campus would be a bit higher. As per USNews, Average salary for 2009 MBA from Hofstra is $76,000 but I still saying that job scenario is not that good . Hope it helps.

Cheers

hey i m nimesh from pune,india.I also applied to hofstra university for mba program.Jus wanted to knw from u ppl is that wen u applied and wen u got admission confirmation.Jus 2 days back i got a mail from hofstra informing me that i have to choose between daytime or evening mba...Did u ppl get such type of mails...In application status it is showing my application is in dept review...So ppl give ur info..

Hi,
It's because you might not have specified in the online application regarding ur priority between daytime and evening program. If ur application is in dept.review,means the decision has not yet been made. Just answer all the pending questions..so that they can consider ur application for making a decision.

Thanks SP.
So..you moving there this fall. Right?
How are you gng abt the housing thing? Generally how far are the off-campus apartments from the uni.?

thnks ritika...btw i wanna knw how much time did it take for u to recieve admission confirmation from the date ur docs reached hofstra university...and btw ru joining hofstra or RIT??

It took around 1 n half month... I'll be joining Hofstra this fall.

Thanks SP.

hey ritika.. i got a mail from hofstra that the seats for the full time mba day program is full. they said they would like me to join the evening full time mba program...they are sayin the curricullum n faculty are all the same...can u suggest me what shud i do?

If the curriculum n faculty are same..then it hardly makes a difference..because many of the students get evening classes..The day time students would also be shifted to the evening classes after the third semester. So,there's no harm if u go for the offer.
Good Luck !

thnx ritika..i got the admittance mail frm hofstra for the evening full time mba...btw how did u return that tution fee form and how did u pay the advance fee of $200..??

I'll pay the tuition fee online after i get the I-20. You can make an international draft of $200 and enclose it along with the form. But I requested them to tell me some other way of making that deposit. I've got a credit card form from them as an attachment in a mail that needs to be faxed.
