NYU MSRE vs Columbia MSRED

anyone have insight to which program is better and has better career placement, average salary, etc? Both schools says they don't release statistics, but wasn't sure if there was knowledge from 3rd party sources or personal experience.

 

I think Columbia will definitely be the choice here. Your comparing an Ivy league vs a mid tier school. Just pick the best school you can get into, prestige is all that counts

 

NYU' s high acceptance rate is curious.

I agree MIT is the strongest MSRE, then (of the two you are considering) Columbia, followed by NYU. I heavily considered these programs but decided an MBA would serve me better.

 

Interested as well. From what I've heard and researched, Colombia>NYU in terms of getting a shot at REPE type of roles. Nevertheless if you read NYU's course descriptions for their MSRE, it is heavily focused on the finance side, especially if you specialize in the Finance and Investments track.

 

In at Columbia. Feels good man.

For your question, this is the most comprehensive source of info on the web: http://forums.businessweek.com/discussions/BW_Business_Schools///bw-b…

Be wary of the dates of posts and reputations have shifted a good deal over the past 5 years. Generally MIT, Columbia, USC, Cornell are considered top tier.

Columbia program has a lot more integration with the business school that offers some very rigorous finance courses.
