Do you think if someone went to a complete non-target, not even a well-ranking state school, but has 4 years of IA experience at a CW, JLL, CB type firm, that an MBA is really only necessary to go buy-side ? If someone went the Director or VP track in brokerage, a non target degree wouldn't prevent them from progressing?

Yeah, personally, I don't give two shits where you went. I've worked with some lazy Ivy grads who felt that their prestigious degree should be enough to climb the ladder. It always comes down to the individual.

As for the VP-level brokerage to buyside switch, I've seen it done and at my principal shop too (twice, I think). For the most part, they're really good with sourcing deals naturally and come in with leads; two skill holes that I've noticed and I have a tiny sample size here, is that their technical knowledge and attention to detail are often blind spots depending on the deal's complexity.

Has anyone here attended Berkeley's MRED+D program? Curious to see what stats are necessary to be competitive.

I'm a recent non-target grad (3.77 GPA) interning at a large developer this summer (think Hines, Brookfield, Related, TCC).

For reference, I just got into Berkeley's MRED+D program-had a 3.7 undergrad degree in a liberal arts discipline (also from Cal) no GMAT/GRE and 7 years experience in real estate and startups on the operations side of things. Also applied to Harvard and USC and waiting to hear back

Not to hijack the thread, but is anyone considering MRED > MBA if you're on value-add principal side?
