MIT MSRED vs USC MRED
I've been admitted into both the MIT MSRED and USC MRED programs and thoroughly enjoyed/respected both when visiting. Coming from a design background, I'd like to transition into development eventually (not necessarily immediately) ending up on the west coast.
MIT:
-prestigious, global brand
-very respectable program with a strong emphasis on finance and economics (my weakness)
-strong network in the northeast
USC:
-best in the west, growing global brand
-solid program covering all facets of real estate/development
-cult-like network particularly strong on the west coast (and growing)
The brief facts I stated above do not give each program their due justice nor do they provide a comprehensive review of each program, but I'm looking for some advice/comment from industry professionals and/or people who have gone through or are currently going through the same process. At the end of the day, I see tremendous success coming out of these two elite programs.
Any and all feedback regarding my upcoming decision is much appreciated. Thanks!
MIT strictly dominates USC in all 'objective' factors. Unless you have strong personal reasons for USC, I can't really think of why you would do it. Unless this network truly is as cultlike as you say, in which case, you know better than us, so you shouldn't ask.
