[quote=Anonymous]That's great, but why does Harvard strike such a chord. As a friend (Harvard parent) recently said in critiquing the academics at the school, "the hardest thing about Harvard is getting in." Sure the acceptances to Harvard matter, but I'm personally more interested in acceptances to a broader range of Ivies and Ivy equivalents (Stanford, MIT, Chicago, etc...). I think the best private schools tend to get about 40% of their students into those top schools. Is that an accurate assessment or am I overly optimistic? Also, I think it's interesting to consider whether these private schools are successful in getting unhooked students into great schools or if they rely on legacy and other hooks to boost their admission numbers.[/quote]
