Hi! I am an undergraduate student coming from a STEM background in a top-tier college. Had past internships before this summer working for non-finance related firms. Currently deciding between Eastdil and JP Morgan CRE for the upcoming summer. Would love to learn more about the learning opportunity as an intern/1st-year analyst, exit opportunities, and pros and cons for each.

If you want to pursue a career in real estate, ES will open way more doors.

I guess the question you'll have to answer is what are you interested in and what fields excite you? If you're 10000% sure you want to work in commercial real estate, my guess is that Eastdil will help you get on that road much quicker.
On the other hand, JPM is a great shop to be at, and comes with the added bonus of helping you keep additional doors open. JPM is a globally recognized brand and should you decide that CRE isn't for you or even finance in general isn't the path you want to walk down in your career, it will translate on a resume to just about anyone and should help open doors.
Per emceedrive Eastdil if you know for sure you want to be in RE long-term, JPM if not. Eastdil is as good as it gets for RE exit opps to the principal side straight out of school but JPM will also provide great exit opps yet offer a wider range as you could move into non-RE lending or corporate finance

I'm going against the grain and suggesting JPM. You'll be on the equity side of the business with a brand name, many more options available from JPM going forward (outside of CRE if you want because of the brand). This is especially so if this is more of an internship role.
Generally I advise new graduates to always start on the equity side of the business if it makes sense (or is a toss up). Here I feel it is a toss up and would rather you start already in the equity side rather than banking on a jump later in your career.
They didn't say it's on the equity side.
