MIT and Columbia have entirely different standards and quality of program. Columbia's more comparable to NYU's and it's hard to get rejected.
Do you recommend applying for NYU with my background?
I've anecdotally seen Columbia place slightly better than NYU. Most MSRED programs don't allow you to take courses from the business school (Columbia/NYU/Georgetown) so anecdotally I think that the network is weaker than ones that do (MIT, Cornell, and I think USC?).
May I ask why a real estate degree? Just out of general curiosity because if I had three years IB, I’d probably look at an mba over a real estate degree because it doesn’t limit me to re only.
