Again this admissions counselor and the company are innovating in the education space which is a good thing, but I do find it odd to misrepresent 2U employees as Berkeley admissions counselors - especially when I talked to him on the phone and he defended the $60k price tag by saying an MBA is $80k.
Not saying this is not a good company or that online education is not good - just that 2U is representing themselves as part of Berkeley Admissions.

Was contacted by this person when I wanted to learn more about the program, who's email signature looked like this:
Peter Wahlberg
Admissions Counselor
datascience@berkeley Admissions Office
UC Berkeley School of Information

But he also works for 2U - maybe only for 2U - http://www.linkedin.com/pub/peter-wahlberg/67/800/27b
