Hey siserune, you said

"As to the usage of A.L.B, it is relatively obscure and is understood clearly only by the tiny minority of the population who know it to be associated with HES. Even at Harvard that's a minority"

How do you know that? I mean where the hell do you get information like this? Do you just made up stuff like this in the inane mind of yours only for the sake of argument? By making statements like this, you are just proving the level of your ignorance. Be honest, you have no practical experience with getting admission to Harvard or getting a job or writing a resume, in any possible way, do you?

I think people like you are not only just extremely jealous of other’s successes but also are paranoid that smart, hardworking people are getting ahead of you by getting a Harvard degree.

Dude, putting “Harvard Extension School” in one’s resume (or in anywhere else in that matter) does NOT deteriorate one’s Harvard Degree in anyway. It’s a matter of perception and presentation that dictates one’s decision of mentioning or not mentioning HES in his/her resume. It really does not matter if a person is mentioning HES, what matters is the Degree itself, a Harvard Degree.

Harvard Extension School is a school of Harvard University just like Harvard Business School, Harvard Divinity School or Harvard Medical School. Regardless a person mentions Harvard Extension School in his/her resume or not; the ALB/ALM is an officially authorized, genuine degree granted by Harvard University. As long as the person knows why he/she is getting an ALB/ALM for (which actually applies to all degrees), he/she can use the Degree from HES as effectively as any other degrees granted by Harvard.

If the people who are students at HES do not have a problem with this, if the institution, Harvard itself, does not have a problem with this, if the employers/other Ivy leagues that are hiring/admitting grads straight out from HES, do not have a problem with this, why do you?

Oh! Hold On, I know the answer, you are suffering from severe case of “Inferiority Complex”
