[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On average a Harvard undergrad is fairly exceptional and a pretty good bet for a hiring decision. As an entire student body the only school I’d give an edge over Harvard is MIT due to all the athletes, legacies, and donors. But the merit kids at Harvard are pretty much top along with MIT.[/quote]

MIT also has a large number of recruited athletes and is quite a bit smaller as a university than Harvard.

Legacies at Princeton and Harvard actually reported slightly higher SAT scores than non-legacies too, which surprises some but really shouldn't due to their relative wealth.

I'd say Stanford has the best overall student body. Pretty much every department is top notch and they are clearly better than Harvard in most STEM areas.

Non stem at Stanford is deficient. Stanford students will readily admit that. [/quote]
