Depends on your learning style and situation. It was worthwhile for me - being able to discuss the concepts/shortcuts/tricks with an instructor made a difference compared to the self-study strategies I tried.

I took the Manhattan GMAT in person classes and had a phenom teacher that really cared and was able to break down concepts very well. She helped us optimize our chances for the exam but also mentally, giving us some research-based tips on how to prepare. I don’t know if all instructors are like her but she was great and I would definitely do it again/recommend if you are that type of learner. It really depends on your learning and motivational style. In person is motivating to me and it helped me keep on track better.

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew. Yesterday, my SIL was giving him a bath and just left him in the tub on the counter to go run upstairs for something. Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.
