MSRE/MSRED Programs
Hi all-
Looking to enroll in an MSRE or MSRED program in the next two years. I'm applying to the following: NYU, Columbia, Georgetown, MIT, USC, and Cornell. I'm currently an Acquisitions Analyst at a privately held development & investment firm in the Philly area. Coverage has been mostly in office, multifamily, and natural resource asset classes. Typical deal size ranges from $20MM-$50MM. Responsible for building models, JV waterfalls, investor memorandum (i.e., PPM's, subscription agreements, etc), asset managing firm's existing portfolio in ARGUS/Excel, and raising capital from HNW investors.
My background: 24 y/o, asian, male UG GPA: 2.94 (upward trend from jr. year onwards >3.2 every semester) Major: Econ, Business Admin School: Big 10 GMAT: practice test ranges 650-720
I'm pursuing a master's degree for three reasons: (1) re-branding of my educational background, (2) networking and meeting other RE professionals and (3) have a clearer understanding of development/investment
Do I even have a shot at the schools I listed or should I toss the towel and accept mediocrity now?
Go for it. You definitely have a shot at at least a few of those schools, especially if you get down and study to get a good GRE score and have a compelling life story/ background.
Add Johns Hopkins into your mix but yes, you have a shot at many of those schools. Take a swing at all of them - MSRE/MRED programs are actually holistic because they don't have to report admissions stats to get ranked.
You definitely have a shot but need to make the most out of your application. Think about what you actually want to do with your real estate career (your highest goal), and how can an MSRED degree will help you achieve that. Have a specific goal/vision/niche. Start to weave that goal/vision/niche into what you're doing now at work or in your personal life. I believe the schools most strongly favor a compelling personal story -- and that takes time spent working under your belt. I got into MSRED programs at MIT, Columbia, JHU, and Georgetown so can maybe help steer you in the right direction. Feel free to message me if you have any further questions.
