[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]the real story isn’t that Harvard is ranked highly but rather that MIT and Princeton (and other schools) outrank Yale among both applicants and parents[/quote]
Given the huge number of scandals, it is actually somewhat remarkable that Harvard's reputation is still stellar among students and parents.

Also, in the biggest college rankings(US News, WSJ, Forbes) they're consistently beat out by both Princeton and MIT, however they seem to have a healthy lead in reputation amongst students.

Anecdotally, I've seen reports showing that Harvard gives students a much higher likelihood of becoming extremely wealthy later in life:

The “scandals” at Harvard matter to insiders like Bill Ackman and culture warriors like Christopher Rufo but are faint background noise for most people who’d be responding to a survey like this.  Again, the continued surprise is that Yale is behind MIT, Princeton, and even Michigan, when it has the most name recognition of any school besides Harvard (and perhaps Stanford).  [/quote]
