Columbia M.S. RED to PE

Hey everyone,

I was just admitted to real estate development program at Columbia and have a background in architecture. I wanted to ask what the chances are of getting into PE after graduating. I also wanted to ask if the 90k tuition + 20k expenses is worth it? If any alum can let me know, that would be great. 

Thank you!
