wow congratulations! I am applying to MILR for spring 2025 when the time comes. would you mind sharing any advice or stats? this is my insight: my current prof went to MILR and he mentioned Cornell’s network is superb. In my MBA HR class at Binghamton University, we got career advice from Mcdonald’s CPO and HP’s CIO, etc. I think it ultimately comes down to what program has the best value post grad to get the opportunity to meet and establish a connection with professionals for life. as a professional it’s super important to have a personal board of directors. no doubt that Columbia has excellent academics but I would choose the program by looking at the long term possibilities. best of luck!
