For those of you who got in: Columbia MSRED
For those of you who have attended Columbia MSRED, what were your stats? ie: WE, GMAT/GRE (if taken), GPA, extra curriculars, etc.
Also curious about Harvard MRE.

Got in with a 3.8 gpa from a top 20 ugrad. Had development experience and Big 4 tas experience. Didn't take GMAT. ECs: ULI Young Leaders, and leadership in college (pres of fraternity, stugov, etc.)
I ultimately ended up choosing Gtown (this will be controversial) due to the fact that I was able to work while in school since my firms HQ is in DC. Not a fan of Columbias curriculum given that its more difficult to intern and gain experience while in studying. Gtown was just better for my situation.

I had 2.5 yrs total work experience. IMO if you’re confident that RE is the path for you then I don’t see the harm in applying after a year or so, although others might disagree. I would advise against applying directly out of ugrad though.
Makes sense.Columbia is a reach for me bc I have a 3.0 gpa UG. But my WE and extra curriculars are super solid. Gonna shoot my shot with a killer essay, so we shall see.
Did you do the MSRE or GRA with Gtown?
MSRE, GRA is a newer program, but you have the benefit of being in McDonough. GRA is more infrastructure focused though but I'm sure you can end up at the same shops regardless of msre/GRA.
How do you know it's a stretch? Seems these are money grabs for schools and you can get in even if you don't think you are Columbia's caliber.
The whole point is to get experience, people don't care about the program in general they want to see what work experience do you have.
