@compmom @gibby @collegedad13 Thanks for the replies. The reason I want to get a masters is because I am looking to move up within my company and take on more of a management role and a graduate degree would make me more competitive (everyone with the management position I seek has at least a masters, they put too much weight on academic credentials in my opinion but they are the kind of company that only hires people who went to top 50 schools). I’m not sure if this is unusual but that is the way it is at my company. Like I said, I live in Cambridge so I am already paying outrageous rent 
My employer is willing to pay for the degree but the policy is that I must have an acceptance letter in order to process the request. If I get the management position, I will be making about 25% more than what I do now which will quickly cover the ~10K I will have to pay in order to be admitted. The thing that makes the Harvard program so appealing to me is that I will have access to some of the best libraries, museums, and guest lectures in the world (arguably). And I will be able to take full advantage of them since I only live 15 min away from the campus. However, I will definitely check out the competition.
Thanks!
