[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like how you all are such complete sheep for Harvard.  If Harvard comes calling, you will all drop everything, fall in line and say "yes".  Like it's the best path for every human. 
It doesn't matter where the kid wants to live, what he wants to study, what kind of college he wants to attend.  He must attend Harvard.  Even if he's miserable there, he must attend Harvard. 
Because nothing else matters than college pedigree and future job prospects.

Just telling it like it is. The kid will probably have a totally great life if he does U-Miami, especially if that's where he will be emotionally fulfilled. Harvard can certainly be a toxic place. But that's true of any university that might not be a good fit for the kid.

However, Harvard - particularly in varsity athletics - opens waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more doors than U-Miami. Doors that remain open for life.

Your kid needs to weigh the realistic trade-offs.[/quote]

OP here.  He is good enough for D1 schools but not good enough to be a pro.  [b]He plays one of the elite and wealthy sports.[/b]

As far as networking is concerned, his grandfather and uncle are already in the wealth management and investment banking business so he will be fine with either Miami or Harvard.  At the moment, he thinks University of Miami is a better fit for him than Harvard.  He just can't see himself in the Northeast cold weather between November and March.[/quote]

What exactly is this?  Sailing?  You sound totally unsufferable, by the way.[/quote]
