It seems that b-school ad-coms group applicants in different groups based on their profiles For example a consultant would be more directly compared with the other consultants, while a banker would be compared with other bankers. to the extent this is how it works (and please correct this logic if it is wrong) what is the best way to spin RE finance experience for b-school admissions?
If one works at an RE investment manager do they want to seem more like a finance-type in the RE world, or an RE-type? this is assuming the applicant has any control over this classification to begin with.
If not, would those with the RE investment management background be lumped in with finance generally (including banking/pe) or would they be compared with RE generally (brokers, developers, operators, etc.)? does it depend on the name of the shop? (ie Morgan Stanley RE investment is in the first pool but Pru is in the second)
