I'm finishing up my year here at HGSE, and as long as coming here will specifically help you reach your professional goals, who cares about what others have to say? I've met many friends this school year from the the other schools at Harvard such as the Law School, Kennedy School, GSAS, Divinity School, College, etc.; none of them have "looked down" on me for going to the Ed School and all have respected the work I'm trying to do. Regarding the acceptance rate, Ed schools are highly self-selective thus leading to those higher rates. Basically the main people applying to HGSE are people who are truly passionate about the education field and want to make a difference. So yeah, don't be discouraged by any stupid stigma.

Long Term lurker here, accepted into the School Leadership Program!!! I'm in shock. Best regards to those not accepted.
