Notes:

Targeting a career in IB with a focus on real estate. I will likely need to take a $60-80k loan for CBS or Stern (assuming the internship goes as planned). For Darden, the financial burden would be lower since I wouldn’t have to cover housing costs. Still undecided but leaning towards CBS due to its M7 status and NY location. Thoughts?

I’d think being in NYC, when recruiting for IB is a good advantage, and being an M7, you can also consider the aggregate quality of your classmates and alums. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1917 Congrats on your acceptances to CBS, Stern and Darden. All three are great MBA programs. Yes, if your goal is to do Investment Banking in NYC, then CBS or Stern would be a great option. Of these two, most applicants would give the edge to CBS given its higher ranking. Of course, be sure to do your due diligence to determine which school is the best fit for you. (0)
