master's degree in psychology


Lmao, she's a masters student.

Harvard's masters programs are really not that prestigious or selective.

People go for the undergraduate (the college) or the professional schools (Law, Business, Medicine).

My friend who went there says some of the college students even think that the professional schools aren't even 'Harvard.' And they're even more critical about the Extension School.

If she was an undergrad or MBA grad or Law grad or Medicine grad, that would be something else but she's a masters student.

Harvard always invites liberal leaders to talk at commencement - I'm not sure why she'd be so surprised by this (if she didn't like it, she didn't have to attend I'd have thought).

She went to the University of Alabama for undergrad in Fine Art and Psychology.



She works as a:

Director of Social Media & Communications at The Daily Caller

You're trying to come off as so smart, but a quick look at Harvard Psychology's website did not show any terminal Master's programs. So, just like the PhD program at LSU you get your Master's degree along the way to pursuing your PhD. That way, if you don't complete the entire PhD program you at least have your Master's. I'm guessing what happened in her case is that after completing her Master's in 2020 (date given in article) she decided to go a different route with her career and left the program (or maybe she failed out, I can't know for sure). Either way, she wasn't in a Harvard master's program as you inferred and was there for a professional school.

Obama worked as a community organizer after graduating from college. What's your point?

My elementary school graduate can identify a male or female. Harvard’s administration and faculty cannot. Any and all Ivy League degrees are not worth the paper they’re printed upon.

Little know secret about many of the top schools?

They have these big big buildings that they have to keep heated at night and they are empty.

There are tons of teachers/academics who would kill to teach there for even just a semester to put it on their resume.

So they run night shcools that give out Bacehlors and even Masters degrees.

I AM NOT SAYING that THIS student went to that, it seems she was a day Masters student.

But it is actually NOT that hard to get into these super tough schools on one condition - you go at night, you don't get many of the fun classes and you have no real college experience. BUT you get a degree from a top school

These schools exist at
Harvard, UPenn, Northwestern, UChicago, Columbia, NYU, Gergetown and others.

If you see what they have in common it is they are in big cities. Places in the rural areas (for example) like Dartmouth don't have them (they may have a few classes for money from the locals but don't give degrees).

For example - Wanna go to Yale?

Pray tell what your credentials are? And remember, a degree does not guarantee the degree holder has any common or practical application sense. I believe this to obviously the case with you.

The Harvard Extension school which can be done mostly online has no admissions requirements. If you can pay the tuition and make a B on the first three classes you take you’re in the program.
