[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the graduate level, Harvard is outstanding. Both at the professional level - medicine, law, business - and pretty much everything else - math, physics, biology, english, history, astronomy.

[b]At the undergraduate level, Harvard is extremely mediocre.[/b] It's where the MIT students go for the easy As. It ain't all that. It's about brand and connections. If you're lucky, you get to room with Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates and get super rich that way. More likely, it's McKinsey or Goldman and their archaic obsession with brand names.

Harvard is not over-rated. But if you are 18 and you actually want to learn something, Harvard is not the place for you. It's a big game for undergrads. But grad programs are legit. [/quote]

OOooo! please prove with citations! -- signed Harvard grad.[/quote]

That is the general concensus at our HS.  If I remember correctly they also have grade inflation. Kids talk to their friends who have gotten in and compare workload.  UChicago is much harder than Harvard.[/quote]

Ours too. It sends 2-4 kids to Harvard every year. They all report that high school was harder. And that the other Harvard students are weird and unhappy. Make of it what you will.[/quote]
