[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard will forever be the most elite but it isn’t the right school for everyone.  All others schools will move up and down in the elite list, and so, the most important factor is fit. Rankings isn’t important, experience is![/quote]

What if I major in Art and Film at Harvard[/quote]

Aren’t there some Oscar winning actors who went there? Harvard is a great degree to have even if you do not succeed in your first career. I don’t have a Harvard degree but I am humble enough to recognize that their degree worth a lot. Sure for film people, they think USC is better, but as I wrote before, the fit is more important. If you don’t think you will be Spielberg, then it is better to have a Harvard degree.  That is assuming you can get in.  [/quote]

Fun fact - Harvard suspended its theater program for three years because the Harvard brand isn't the golden key that can open any doors. Most of the program's graduates ended up with high debt  (on average of $78,000) and the program received a "failing" grade from DOE.
