UNC MBA RE hiring companies list and placement stats

"cre_questions" Elm Street is like a UNC MBA cult

UNC MBA is like a cult in and of itself

Cockiness is the number one complaint I read about real estate MBA interns on this site. That being said this placement is much better than I expected. I wonder what these guys were making prior to their MBA.

A lot of top schools don't have RE programs, so while UNC is like top 20 school, it's top 10 for RE. I would def consider UNC if I decide to get MBA.

"IRRelevant" I've worked with a unc real estate mba intern. They were ok. Obviously UNC is good but the kid seemed to think it was Wharton or something. Also, they were ridiculously confident and cocky for knowing almost nothing and being wrong most of the time.

Placement is good though and they have a great reputation overall.

lmao

I had the same experience last summer.

That said, if you want to do real estate in North Carolina, I don't know why you'd go anywhere else

Same stats for UT, can't comment on Wisconsin...UT/UNC are ranked almost the same overall

"CRE UW" Thanks for sharing. I wonder how this compares to other public RE MBAs (i.e. UT or Wisconsin).

It's difficult to say, because it's rare for programs to post such detailed sector level info which doesn't allow for comparisons. I expect UT to be a powerhouse in Texas and have good placements, but it might be weaker than UNC nationally. Wisconsin is definitely not in the same league as UNC and UT.

As for public schools, UCLA and Berkeley have RE programs as well. I imagine they place very well in California.

I know several people who have graduated from UNC recently. They ended up at The Irvine Company, JBG and Graystar. There are several that work at my life company that came from UNC as well.

I work with like 8 of these dudes. MF PE shop. MrCheese is spot on. They're literally everywhere. Several of them work in REIB at Morgan Stanley and BAML. They have the fund vehicle which is a pretty cool experience that you can't get anywhere else for the most part (pretty sure on this anyways). Their alums will go to bat pretty hard for you too and open a lot of doors.

Count chocula is incorrect--UT Austin just launched a student run fund as well in addition to their public equity (REIT) fund. UNC is an awesome program and I've run into their alum in REIB and REPE. Lots of options out of that program but the toughest PE gigs typically go to those with prior industry experience. Good luck

I think like 1/3 of my company are UNC MBA Real Estate people. Not exaggerating either. Top 20 MF developer.

I've been told REPE and development are the two biggest areas of interest for these people, with interest in development particularly rising dramatically over the last 5 years.
