Best Msf to pivot into finance

Debating which is the best msf program for me to pivot into re, I am trying to go for repe or a development shop in nyc.I am deciding between Notre Dame, GSU and Villanova. I had my undergraduate in civil engineering and I am currently working as a engineering consultant, mostly for warehousing and multi family housing projects.Would really appreciate any insight, thanks

 

Columbia MSRED with no previous experience is still a good option (background ranges from 22-35 with none to 10+ years of experience). A lot of the class is people with no finance or real estate experience. 1/3rd of the class is usually architects and maybe another 1/3 non-finance people.


I will say the quality of job interviews and offers tends to favor those with better experience. I.e. unlikely to get an associate acquisitions role at a major shop without some prior relatable experience. Analyst roles (acquisitions/debt/AM) are definitely possible at some good shops.
