Note:

Got admitted to Fordham University with 80K Dean's Scholarship. I want a lot of information to be able to decide if it's a great place for me. The location is ideal for me due to my Finance background and post-MBA goals. NYC is quite expensive for someone from Africa like me. There are mot enough reviews on Fordham University's MBA program so I would appreciate if members can provide insights about the school and the program to help me make an informed decision. Thank you very much

Notes:

Really conflicted between SOM and Kellogg - is it worth to choose Kellogg over SOM even with the scholarship? I really like both schools, but I do know that Kellogg is higher ranked. Main priority is having as little debt as possible, but will Kellogg give me better job prospects to pay off my debt faster/be more worth long term?

Pre-MBA Career: Real estate acquisitions and development
Post-MBA Target Industry: Investment Banking
GMAT: 675
GPA: 3.1
Years of Work Experience: 4
Location: Mid-atlantic
Notes:

I am originally from the UK (now a permanent resident) and went to community college (3.6 gpa), then transferred to a top 25 undergrad and severe health issues due to a disability causing me to get a 3.1 gpa. I then stayed there and did a master’s in finance with a 3.8 gpa. I am very passionate about giving back, especially about the homelessness epidemic. Before college I spent a year in Switzerland volunteering at homeless shelters. During college I led a campus ministry with a focus on helping the unhoused. After my experience with my disability, I started a nonprofit that has consulted with several shelters and foodbanks to help those with similar health issues as myself. I also personally raised capital to purchase and preserve an affordable multifamily property. My career has been in real estate since I graduated, but I have job hopped. My first job was 5 months, then I moved to be closer to family. My next job was for 7 months, but I quit as they were taking actions to make housing unaffordable for first time buyers. My next job was in acquisitions but I was laid off with about half the company due to the rising interest rates that affected the industry. I have been at an impact real estate private equity firm for almost 2 years in an acquisitions, development, and asset management role with a promotion. All my roles have been for REITs or PE firms. My post-mba goal is banking to better learn capital markets and long term to start an affordable real estate investment firm, perhaps in London. I would love to be a wire tap candidate, fingers crossed.
