Don't misrepresent where you went to school.
#71
Why are we even telling people not to misrepresent things? I want dishonest people to misrepresent things. Then when I check things out, I'll know they are dishonest and can nip things in the bud before they can do any damage.

I figure the people doing it in bad faith either won't read this thread or will ignore it. Those doing it through ignorance deserve a chance.

Some people don't know it is unethical to list a school a certain way. One person here asked if he could list UTPB as University of Texas. If he wanted to be dishonest, he would have gone ahead and done it instead of asking if it was appropriate.

When you can complete a Harvard degree online for a fraction of the cost you’re working smarter than the dopes paying full price.

Most Harvard students don't pay full price. Some undergraduate Harvard Extension students have received some large scholarships, but Harvard Extension will generally be more expensive at the undergrad level because they don't receive as much non-loan aid.

The smart person will be the one who will choose a highly-ranked program at a school cheaper than Harvard Extension if they can't get into the main Harvard schools. Keep in mind that Harvard is not ranked in the top 10 in everything, and Harvard Extension programs aren't ranked at all.

The top accounting firms hire students from the top accounting programs. If you can't get into Harvard, then the dumb thing to do will be to complete your degree at Harvard Extension. There are several cheaper public schools that supply many employees to the Big 4.

You do know that the average Harvard graduate has little debt, right? You also do know that Harvard is not ranked in the top 5 in everything? You do know that individual program rankings are usually more important than university rankings. You do know that extension programs are not ranked?

Why would I study in an unranked accounting program when UT is cheaper for Texas residents and ranked #1 in accounting? That would be stupid.

Did you know that I’m on my way to the Colorado river and it’s 118 degrees in Laughlin today? I rented 8 tubes, have 90 cans of beer, 18 Gatorade’s, 10 sandwiches, and rented a hotel room to sleep off the heat and beer for later. It’s going to be a fun 8 hours on the river.

You asked a question in my thread and responded to my answers multiple times. You're not funny. Don't quit your day job. Maybe after you relax on the river, you'll be able to converse like an adult.

HES is for nontraditional students. If you want a spot at somewhere like FAANG or the Big 4 as a nontraditional student, you have to have to supplement your education with work experience. HES provides a good opportunity for students to continue in their current companies while pursuing education. As an HES student, you're on your own for recruiting, which is the norm for nontraditional programs anyway. It's certainly not for everyone, but the Harvard name alone gives the degree a lot of value.

As for the cost. It's relatively inexpensive. I priced out a masters at around $15,000 for people receiving the Harvard Extension School Grant. A bachelor's can be had for a similar cost if you transfer in the maximum of 54 credits they allow.
