[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, yes.  I went to Harvard College and it is/was well known that HKS is a vanity degree.  One of my friends dated an older guy in HKS and helped him with his "homework", which was shockingly simple and childlike.  They do a lot of group projects with silly pretend assignments.  The purpose of their program is "making connections", I was told.

And I will never, ever forget seeing some business school bros (in their 30s?) doing keg stands at an undergrad party, trying desperately for the "Harvard experience."  None of those guys would have been admitted to Harvard College or to a real graduate program.[/quote]

I was always under the impression that [b][b]Harvard [/b][/b]gets most of its prestige from its various professional schools. Its undergrad is relatively (and I emphasize relatively - Harvard College is obviously still stellar) lacking, especially compared to its peers. [b]I can list about 15 schools that probably have a better undergraduate offering than Harvard.[/quote][/b]

I love DCUM.

Let me guess: your kid attends one of the 15 schools you consider better than Harvard?  [/quote]

Tulane.  #14.  Very selective this year ;-)[/quote]

The pre-med students I knew who went to Tulane couldn't pass the MCATs. That was like a third of the class...[/quote]
