Hi, I have fortunately been admitted to the above three schools (assume no tuition $$ for argument's sake) and I am having trouble deciding which to move forward with. I will have had 5 years of work experience in real estate private equity in Hong Kong (boutique shop) and my near term goal is to break into real estate investment banking in NYC following the program. I have Canadian citizenship (no US) and I am a CFA charterholder.
Which out of Booth, CBS and Sloan do you think would best suit my near term goal of breaking into investment banking in NYC? I was able to attend MIT and CBS class visits and was particularly impressed by MIT - unfortunately I have not been able to visit Booth.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
EDIT: Would also like to add that although my near term goal may be US work experience, in the long run I see myself returning to Hong Kong or London therefore international recognition of the school/program is also very important for me. Thanks again!

When you visited both schools MIT and CBS? Have you approached the career service in them? or talked in any current students. Your very particular interest is unusual for them, I think people may say just IB but you target very segment in this industry. if you approached, what info did you get?
Also, where do you want to end up working and living?

i wouldn't consider sloan given your goals. this comes down to booth vs cbs which are more or less equal for nyc banking recruiting so would choose based on fit.
