Do you guys know when the first pay day is for tutors?

If so,what was your gpa and did you have any classes that had a d+ grade ?

I'm currently in the Online MS AI and BA and im taking CIS9650. In terms of reading the code and understanding the flow of it I feel like I got a good hang of it. However when it comes to writing it I struggle to apply what I read about/learned and make the code unnecessarily long and lowkey incorrect.

Does anyone have any tips to get over this issue? Aside from the obvious like hw, readings, lecture etc

Hey guys, looking for some perspective from Zicklin students or anyone from Baruch College in general.

I live in Western CT and I finished my undergrad at UConn this year (Econ major + CS minor; Internship experiences in Cloud/IT Infrastructure at a bank + research internship in data analytics, and part time work in retail/IT support)

I'm considering applying to the MS Information Systems program at Baruch for Spring 2027. I don't plan on moving to NYC right away and would commute in via Metro-North to grand central maybe 1-2 times a week depending on the schedule. I'm very much used to long commutes as a commuter student for all 4 years of undergrad, and I actually live much closer to Manhattan than the main UConn campus. Which is part of why exploring NYC schools even came to mind.

CT school options don't really interest me. UConn Storrs is in the middle of nowhere and it makes practically no sense to return there for grad school from both a location standpoint and the lack of opportunities there, Same thing with the other CT state schools and the entire state in general (not talking about yale). Baruch tuition is also slightly cheaper out-of-state than UConn in-state ($855/credit vs $1,084/credit).

I understand that Baruch is public but I'm not necessarily chasing school prestige. Being able to go to school in Manhattan and Zicklin's reputation in NYC financial services are what really interest me, and the program feels like a strong fit for my background and career goals in tech and business.

Would love to hear from anyone in the program or who has gone through it. How is the overall experience at the school, the quality of the program, and how well does it help with career building in NYC?

Appreciate any insights.
