MBA for IB/REPE - Cornell Johnson vs Michigan Ross

Hello all,

Self explanatory title but looking for more insight into factors such as:

  • Strength of network
  • Typical recruiting outcomes
  • Which firms actively recruit
  • Feedback on hires coming out of those programs
  • Strength of academic program

For context, I currently work in commercial real estate investment sales/mortgage brokerage with a fairly lengthy career in real estate/finance in various roles and functions (development, leasing, MBS). My goal is to end up in REPE but very open to landing in RE/REGAL IB as a way to get there, or potentially as a career of its own.

Insights into the RE/REGAL IB space are also very welcome.

Thanks.
