Example of someone with a TESC degree going farther

Just though y'all might find this interesting. I'm sure there's similar for Excelsior and probably COSC as well.

So I guess it comes down to you and what you make of it, more than anything.

That is certainly encouraging. But if Hamilton University is the same university where Kenner Bisch received his Phd there is quite a big story about it being a 'diploma mill' on wiki. If it is Hamilton College in NY then I take it back

People shouldn't worry so much about this. There are dozens of posts throughout the IC forums that prove time and time again that 99.9% of graduate programs don't care where the undergraduate degree comes from, as long as it is a regionally accredited school and you meet the other admission requirements (GMAT, etc)

I know it's only natural to wonder about such things when you're doing something different than everyone else, but in this case it's not necessary.

Thanks for these posts. I agree since we are not traditional students it is reassuring to hear of success stories.

The good Hamilton College in New York doesn't offer the PhD. So this would be the unaccredited Hamilton University, the Hamilton University that was a major subject of the 2004 60 Minutes Wednesday feature "Diplomas for Sale."

Within this scenario the idea of TESC degree going farther evenly person assumes a wider this means. The item besides involves your cross-functional management squads but also drawn in the organisation's offer string, and also for further business.

uh, reported ?

all the posts by this person look pretty similar and also look like gibberish to me

I don't know why spammers do this. Maybe it's to get up their posting count before they actually start spamming, but they don't ever seem to get far.

Yeah, that's the idea. Web board software now often has new-member moderation by default, for instance restricting members with little or no posting history from posting links. So spammers establish posting histories! However lazy, unhelpful, or barely comprehensible their posts are. Presumably they're often generated by automated or semi-automated bots, and/or human spammers with limited written English proficiency.

I don't think graduating from the big 3 is nearly as restricting as a 100% test out route, which I don't think is always restrictive anyway. Thanks for posting those though, always good to see folks climbing higher!
