I feel like SMU, but I'm just guessing. Seems like the type of school where you'd make a lot of connections which is important.
Emory is a better school just do that
If you want to work in DFW then SMU
Bruh just do Emory easy choice. Emory is legitimately prestigious and not to mention that Atlanta is popping for RE and Emory is deep in those networks
Depends on personal goals.
SMU is the perfect school for penetrating the Dallas market, which is projected to be indefinitely and increasingly strong.
Emory is a great school with alumni littered in C-Suite rolls everywhere from PE/REPE to BB/EB banks. Emory would also likely grant you access to similar roles in Dallas when compared to SMU. Both great options, but Emory takes it in my book.
SMU has a lot of very wealthy families who go into real estate in the DFW area. It's considered DFW real estate mafia. Every DFW shop has an SMU grad in it. But if you don't want to be in DFW then go to Emory, which is definitely a better academic experience and much better exposure to pure finance/consulting roles.
If you want to be in Dallas, SMU by a mile. If you want to be in Atlanta, Emory. If you don’t know, Emory is probably the safer choice.
Agree with other posts. Pick your school based on what city/state you’d rather end up in. Working in CRE in Dallas, every firm has at least a couple of SMU alumni. I can’t speak to Atlanta but would assume Emory is the same. Both cities have an extremely bright outlook with regards to CRE and growth so I don’t think you can go wrong with either.
SMU is an excellent school for commercial real estate, and its alumni in the field aren’t just limited to Dallas. They have great alums in CRE in every major city, and have a dedicated real estate major, as well as the Folsom Institute with a lot of dedicated faculty.
Emory is theoretically more prestigious / higher ranked and has a good undergraduate business school, but less of an intense real estate focus. I’d recommend you look at cultural fit as the two are very different. SMU is heavy on Greek life, social life, and also has a lot of wealthy kids and the accompanying scene. Emory is much quieter & more serious. But obviously well regarded in Atlanta and the Southeast.
I think you mean Emory has a medical focus. They don't even have an Engineering department. But everything else you say is correct.
