Hey kobewestbrook0, sorry about the delay, but are any of these useful:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

I applied to NYU, MIT, and Harvard for MSRE(D). Manifesting some offers in March 🤞 Edit: Got into NYU!Edit 2: Rejected at Harvard, but in at MIT (with $)!
Congrats!
Applied to Columbia and will apply to NYU. Good luck all
Got admissions from Baruch MSRE & NYU MSRE for now, waiting for some other offers……

Would anyone be willing to share their stats and the programs they applied to?
Thanks!
Applied to NYU & Columbia MSRED. Fingers crossed!
3.0 GPA, 4 years experience in CRE (Asset Management), waived GMAT.
What are thoughts on Northwestern, Emory, and Duke 1 Year MBAs with the goal of progressing in Investment Sales or REPE/REITs
You can get into investment sales without it especially from those schools. I'd recommend targeting principal side with that degree.
Duke and Emory don't really have a strong CRE network (both are more geared towards Consulting, IB, etc).
Northwestern would be the best bet of the three for RE, but even then, it's more of a consulting-pipeline school.
Do you think if someone went to a complete non-target, not even a well-ranking state school, but has 4 years of IA experience at a CW, JLL, CB type firm, that an MBA is really only necessary to go buy-side? If someone went the Director or VP track in brokerage, a non target degree wouldn't prevent them from progressing?
Yeah, personally, I don't give two shits where you went. I've worked with some lazy Ivy grads who felt that their prestigious degree should be enough to climb the ladder. It always comes down to the individual.
As for the VP-level brokerage to buyside switch, I've seen it done and at my principal shop too (twice, I think). For the most part, they're really good with sourcing deals naturally and come in with leads; two skill holes that I've noticed and I have a tiny sample size here, is that their technical knowledge and attention to detail are often blind spots depending on the deal's complexity.
Outside of your Eastdils, I don't think lacking a "target" degree would prevent you from climbing up the brokerage ranks. It's more about eating what you kill.

Im in my last semester at Columbia MSRED, happy to help…
Do you mind sharing your stats that led you to being accepted?
thanks so much!
Has anyone here attended Berkeley's MRED+D program? Curious to see what stats are necessary to be competitive.
I'm a recent non-target grad (3.77 GPA) interning at a large developer this summer (think Hines, Brookfield, Related, TCC).
For reference, I just got into Berkeley's MRED+D program-had a 3.7 undergrad degree in a liberal arts discipline (also from Cal) no GMAT/GRE and 7 years experience in real estate and startups on the operations side of things. Also applied to Harvard and USC and waiting to hear back
Go Bears!
Has anyone heard back from Harvard or Columbia yet?
negative. I heard Harvard is releasing next week, the second week of March. Columbia is releasing before the 15th.
Where'd you hear about Harvard releasing decisions next week?
Do you have a date?
from the admissions. They said they'll announce within the first week of march.
Oh great, thanks a lot for the intel!
Not to hijack the thread, but is anyone considering MRED > MBA if you're on value-add principal side?
Has anyone heard of a date for when decisions will be released for Columbia MSRED?
before the 15th of march
Waitlisted at Harvard FWIW, they said they'll be releasing waitlist spots early May
When did you hear back? Do you know when they expect to release all decisions?
Released this morning when I checked the site. Haven't gotten an email though. Stats are 3.7 from Cal and 7+ years experience in real estate and tech.
stats?
So sorry, you have very impressive stats. I'm sure you will do great regardless, plus Berkeley is exceptional. Best of luck.
Harvard decisions are out
cornell is out!
Good call not going for USC
Care to elaborate? USC is my top choice - waiting for their decisions to drop. Thanks.
Columbia is out. Got in!
In as well, Congrats!
Congrats!!!!
Google timebrook investment and thank me later
Anyone have any idea when USC MRED is coming out?
MIT decisions come out this week. Anyone know what day?
I'm dying to know
