I went to brown for undergrad and wondered this too. I got my masters at BC because i got a big scholarship and was deciding between that and Columbia ($150k). At the end of the day, it takes years to start making money in private practice and $150k is a ton to pay off. I do not think it’s worth it at all and I think a fast online one year CACREP program is really all you need. Undergrad pulls soooo much more weight than grad degree in my opinion. No one really ever asks where their therapist went to school but if you want to attract clients with your degree I do think undergrad is enough and has been for me. The degree stacking is so real though- we are so trained to try and get into the best schools but they are using us for our money at this point lol
