I just re-looked at my Rowan financial plan on their status page, it says my cost of attendance is 29,922, which is there estimate for COA for students who live with there parents. https://sites.rowan.edu/financial-aid/cost-of-attendance/annual-coa-1920.html
So, they have already took into consideration the fact that I am living with my parents.
Now, can anyone answer my original post? Thanks
Iâd choose TCNJ for the extra rigor and reputation.
Donât be pennywise, pound foolish. Invest in yourself.
For marketing, make sure to minor in statistics, data science, or business analytics.
@TCNJApp Thanks for the clarification. I think that your stating in one of your earlier posts that you would be a non-commuter at Rowan confused everybody.
Are you planning to commute to TCNJ too? If so do your live closer to Rowan or TCNJ?
I think that the commuting time should be for you an important decision factor considering that the reputation of both schools is somewhat similar.
And did you get accepted at Bantivoglio at Rowan?
Both I would commute, and they are both about 35 minutes from me. I was offered to go to honors, but for me it is not worth it. You need a higher min gpa, and the main benefit is the dorms, which do not really help me. I am not sure if I want to minor because it is a little extra stress and I plan to work while attending college. However, do you think it would be smart to finish marketing than do an MBA, and add 2 years?
MBAs are expensive. My advice is to focus on getting your first degree. You can always do a MBA once you have a full time job and can afford to pay as you go.
I am not sure why you are dismissing Honors, even if you will not benefit from the dorms. Priority registration, assuming it is one of the perks, could be useful.
Finally make sure that your work does not negatively impact your studies.
To go back to the question of commuting, realize that a 30-mile commute to school (assuming that will be your commute) will cost you about $30/day, or $600/month, or about 5K/school year. It might make more sense to get a room on campus⊠And if money is tight go for the cheapest school.
In short, be practical. Come up with a SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-based) goal and achieve it (e.g. get a marketing degree within four years without taking debt). Then reassess the situation and set a new goal.
I will not be able to get a loan, I am not allowed to pay interest in my religion.
So, I will definitely take money into consideration.
This question is a little off-topic. If I am accepted to TCNJ, than my school sends the school report after I graduate, and TCNJ sees that I got 1 D, 3 Bâs, and 1 A. Do you think they will revoke my acceptance?
D = yes. C = no. Get to vvork.
D in gym is fine. Is this in an academic subject?
I am doing good in all classes except calc, calc I am 69, I am trying to get it to a C. The thing is, the highest level math I will ever take is Calc 1, I am doing marketing, so maybe they will not care because I can just take it as a freshman?
Nope, thatâs not how it works, especially with big state schools. They look for D/F grades and rescind. Theyâre not going to go into your file and wonder about your personal situation.
Also, if youâre in marketing and want a job in that field, you WILL need a lot more math. The field had gotten data-driven, so that data analytics/statistics are now necessary for employment.
So if I get 1 D it is more like than not that I will get my decision changed.
Iâm pretty sure Calc is required for business majors, at least at Rowan. @MYOS1634 is right - business degreees require a lot of math. Thatâs precisely why my son crossed marketing off his list!
The only requirement is Calc 1 and Statistics, thats for marekting at rowan.
and at TCNJ
Yes but if thatâs all you do you wonât find a job (your mistake is common and explains why ROI on marketing is low). You need a serious(calculus-based) statistics and/or business analytics background nowadays.
Op- in the old days, you could squeak into a marketing job with limited math skills (reading graphs, etc.) No longer.
If you donât love math, you likely wonât end up in roles where you are doing complex regressions. But someone on your team is going to be very math intensive, and you need to know enough to keep up. Marketing is all about evaluating data nowadays (past purchase behaviors, price algorithms, ROI on various brand investments) and you will be severely limited in your professional options without a good solid grounding in math.
And take both micro and macro economics while you are at it. Essential for marketers, even though many programs only require micro.
I am not trying to get a job for another company, I am going to run my fathers business and I am going into marketing in order to actually learn how to market. I am not worried about a job, if the business fails, hopefully it wont, than I will go on to get an MBA.
Youâre not hearing what weâre telling you.
Unless your goal is to be âdaddyâs girl/boyâ and float around the company, you will need professional skills in marketing if you want to work in marketing and these skills include math, especially statistics and business analytics.
If you want a non- math-y field useful to a business look into professional writing or communication.
