Sorry for the essay, I always welcome any feedback, but completely understand if that’s too much info to respond to all points.

I want to do both but my boss and her company are in Alabama whereas I can only get this MBA at LSU in Louisiana.

-  The Good Deeds Note Investing Podcast-  Note MBA (this is an older channel but there is still some good information here)As well as the forums on bigger pockets, of course. 

I know the NYSE has been around for a long time, I actually studied it for an essay.

But the experience you get in a very short time is well beyond what you'd get in any MBA, so it is totally worth it.

I took kinda a break to finish my mba which I have a year left, but than I’ll be back to hunting for real estate lol 

@Steven Wilson This would be your typical networking email, nothing complex about it.Something like one of these:1) Hi Patrick,I'm an MBA with 2 years of experience working for a real estate developer in China.

I am from Lubbock, Tx I am 23 years old and currently working on my MBA at Texas Tech University.

This will also give you time to bulk up your experience to write solid essays and get into a McKinsey school.  

I can relate to an extent as I graduated in 2010 with a degree in finance and a MBA in 2014.
