Mid-20s
Previous RE experience (brokerage, AM, and some development/acquisitions) looking to get into Acquisitions or Development with a big fund and/or Developer post graduation.
Full price at UNC vs a bunch of MSREs (scholarships to all 30%-50%).
I feel like I am having some sticker shock with UNC but love their RE program.
Any insights or opinions are welcome!
It's not allowing me to respond to individual posts but thank you all for your insights so far!
Right now, I am with a big brokerage (C&W, CBRE, Colliers) servicing F500 clients with their leasing/portfolio needs. It's not a 'sexy' position and certainly not one that I want long term so I am doing this to pivot back to a buy-side role.
Looking at UNC profiles, they seem to place the strongest amongst the other programs. But the price is very steep (sometimes 4x for just the tuition when scholarships are considered).
Geographically, I think I have nailed just about every location where I would want to build my career too, so every school there is well-positioned to align with my interests making deciding a bit tougher.
I can't speculate on Covid's impact to CRE, but I will say that my post-graduation goal is within the multifamily space which should be more protected than some other asset classes (office, lower tier retail, etc).
