full ride, don’t take on debt. you’ll feel imprisoned having to pay $600-700/month right when you graduate if you have loans.

also im assuming you mean columbia, not colombia the country? i have an ivy and while it can open doors, it does not define your future success

Can you ask Columbia to match?

Well I’m sure that Bogota is a wonderful place to study business

In all seriousness, CBS does have a phenomenal real estate program.

Do the full ride. I know this isn’t exactly the same, but I had a friend who got offered a full ride at NYU law and was also accepted to Harvard law but without much financial aid/scholarship money. He did NYU and didn’t regret his decision in the slightest. He seemed to get lots of attention by NYU faculty-they treat the people who get full rides like super high potential individuals.

I wasn’t sure whether their full rides to their mba program had something similar. This friend had one of the special named scholarships that got him all sorts of special advising. I think it helped him get a fancy clerkship. Either way, not being saddled with debt is a win to me. NYU is still a good school. It’s not like we’re comparing a bad school to a great school.

Columbia. You'll have better salary offers and career options due to your network and brand recognition

NYU salaries are higher than Columbia 😂

Stern full ride

Columbia, no question whatsoever. NYU is great. Columbia is elite.

Columbia’s real estate program is really good. The professors are very connected and can hook you up.
