It probably depends on the employer. But in my personal experience, the previous work experience and the cultural fit of the candidate have been more important than what school they graduated from.

I think fellow Ivy League school grads care... their alumni networks are strong! But like the first commenter said, I think there are often other factors that are more important

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management.

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?
