Today, I excitedly told my mom how I got accepted to the master’s program of my dreams. She decided now would be a good time to proudly repeat for the millionth time how she gave up a full ride to the Ivy League to marry my father, and I ought to be a "good woman" and do the same. FML

If it actually was a top mba program you’d just say what program it is, for example “I got accepted the the University of Utah’s MBA program”. Most people assume online certificate when they hear “top mba program” because just as others have said, those online programs say that in their sales pitch to get you to buy their product.

Some online-only programs advertise themselves as "top" or "leading" or "for extremely stable geniuses." Remember, one of their specialties is marketing. *cough*University of Phoenix*cough*
