You could have been a Harvard schmuck who found the company you now work for.

Instead of being a Tesla engineer, you could have been a UPenn grad Elon Musk who found the company.

Instead of being an Amazon engineer, you could have been a Princeton grad Jeff Bezos.

Musk didn’t found Tesla, he bought it from the founders, Martin Eberhart (University of Illinois) and Marc Tarpenning (UC Berkeley).

Are the glory days for Harvard behind them? Serious question. I cannot find reasons why Harvard is any better than other schools in the top 50 USNWR rankings. Recent matriculants I have known personally are not that impressive and seem to be a blend of legacy, VIP and athlete. What am I missing? Perhaps it is a dying brand - what am I missing? Does the emperor have any clothes here?

Yes I am very displeased with the student groups there which are openly anti semitic.

Same. After hearing about Harvard student clubs blaming Israel for what happened, I would never want my child to attend that school.

This.
