Went to a good but small liberal arts college no one has heard of. Want to slap some ivy on my resume. What masters programs sound impressive but are actually easy to get into?

Probably not worth it for the brand if you’re already at SM level imo. Are you actually wanting to study/ take time off to complete the program? Don’t know what program you’re looking at specifically but grad school can be a fairly big commitment in terms of time/ stress/ break from career possibly so take that into consideration

An MBA may be additive to OP depending on their background. I know a few SMs that are pursuing or would like to pursue an MBA. Cost is only 1 factor of the decision making process

what are you trying to achieve with the masters?

HA Ha Ha. Great article about cost vs value.

A good school will still hold cachet in consulting, even if the general public doesn’t know about it

Cornell has exec MBA, I was a TA. Don’t think our business school is hard to get into (relative to undergrad at least) but I only went for a BA

Same here! I have <2 yoe though.. Try to get into Johnson or Tuck?

I think almost all of them have part-time/weekend options, even m7

Which small college? I went to Berea if anybody has heard of it lol

A1 CMC is a great school, but an anecdote like “Julie became a CEO fron CMC, so anybody could” is a pretty useless metric. The Fortune 500 CEOs list has everything from Ivies to big state schools like Wisconsin, A&M, etc., from east coast schools like Bucknell and Lehigh to west coast like UCs and Stanford, etc.

Median salaries and employment rate of grads are still flawed but are better metrics imo

UNC

Master of education programs at Harvard, penn and Stanford.

Stanford isn’t Ivy.
