-I truly think that my experience in EMBA will be have a greater influence on my professional and personal life than any other educational experience I've had. It has already directly led to a huge promotion at work as well as acceptance to an Ed.D. program that I will start next semester. This is my second master's at an Ivy League school, and there is no comparison. The services, professors and students were of such a high caliber that it exceeded even my wildest ideas of what I would get out of the program.
