[quote=Anonymous] OP is confusing Harvard U overall with Harvard College undergrad. Harvard overall is best known because it is the oldest in the US, has the largest endowment by far, has many top ranked graduate programs, and has an edge because Boston is seen as a great college city (and has more work opportunities than say Princeton, NJ). Among high school students who have the academic records to make them competitive applicants to Harvard, however, it is not at all so clear that it holds such an advantage. Many students select Yale, Princeton and many other universities and LACs because of a belief that the undergraduate programs are stronger at some other schools. It is true that Harvard wins more "cross-admits" than it looses to other top schools, but it is also true that quite a few students who select other top schools decided not to apply to Harvard in the first place.
