Should I take the IU-B offer?
Should I pass up on better schools ie- Emory with $$ or should I just choose the better LS and let the IU-B offer go?

I would want to go into the investment side of things. I figured the JD would be an additional benefit. Are the B school prospects "regional" as well? I thought the B school was very well known.

Indiana is a Tier 1 MBA program and it would definitely allow for opportunities outside the Midwest.CanadianWolf wrote:Indiana's business school is world-class. You should do very well in the real world with these degrees.
I wouldn't say it is world-class though, there is a large gap between Whatron/Harvard/Standford/Kellogg and the other tier 1 MBA programs.

Re: Should I take the IU-B offer?
IU may have a good MBA but it is by no means "world renown". And the reason I am saying this is to state the fact that there is no major gap between these two B-Schools. I believe they are both ranked within a couple of spots within each other. Emory tends to feed into the NY and Atl markets however.
I'm not sure how much $$$ Emory is giving you in comparison but I would consider what your major intent of schooling is. Seems like you are more inclined to lean to the MBA career path wise. And as far as investment and real estate goes, GA(Atl specifically) and NY obviously have a leg up in the healthiness of that particular market versus mid-major cities in the midwest.
Personally, I'd lean towards Emory. But the exact cost comparison of Emory to IUB would be helpful in giving complete sound advice.

Oh yeah? That's all we have to do for regions not to matter? So why don't more people do it?CanadianWolf wrote:Not sure that it matters where OP is comfortable living & working if seeking a career in commercial real estate.
Also, that wasn't the impression that I got from the career office at IUB when discussing JD-MBAs.

I'd choose IUB too. Unless you really needed Atlanta for some reason.SrLaw wrote:IUB- Free and 3 year program

For commercial real estate, law school isn't really necessary.CanadianWolf wrote:For commercial real estate, the Indiana-Bloomington offer seems ideal.

With that said, you can't beat free!

If you want to go into the investment side of things just go to B-school. Investment folks don't give a shit about a JD.SrLaw wrote:rayiner wrote:Take full ride unless you get T14.
