Can I call myself an alum of the university if I got my MBA there?
This applies to any university, but in my case I am currently enrolled in an M7 program and wondering if I can truly, culturally and deep down, call myself a real alum of the institution as a whole.
For example, are HBS alumni real Harvard alumni?
This same question can also apply to master's degree programs like an MA or MS, or other professionals programs like a JD or an MD.
Undergrad is where the heart is
What if someone has two undergraduate degrees from let’s say the two most well-known universities in the world: Harvard and Oxford.
Would they be a rare case of somebody who is truly an alum (both culturally and officially) of both universities?
Yeah that’s literally the greatest combination attainable
Congrats on SC Johnson School of Business!
He said M7
A HBS MBA graduate isn’t equal to a Harvard College graduate as far as I know. Legacy admission’s offer a good insight into this, if you are applying to Harvard College as a student who’s parent/s are a Harvard College graduate you are a legacy admission which could position you better than someone who has a very similar profile but isn’t eligible for legacy admissions. Same thing doesn’t apply if you have HBS/HKS graduate parent when you are applying to the College.
So you think not really then?
I'd say fuck it why not. I mean, you've spent tuition, presumably multiple years there, and have a degree with the name on it.
My gauge is whether or not you'd be admitted into the Harvard Club. Since HBS grads are, then yes, I would say you could call yourself a Harvard Alum.
LMAO. The current state of our MBA cohorts. Just Google the word alumNUS
