[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doing some research for my DC who is a sophomore.  Recent grad outcomes appear very pedestrian and it appears many are struggling to find work.  Are the glory days for Harvard behind them?  Serious question.  I cannot find reasons why Harvard is any better than other schools in the top 50 USNWR rankings.  Recent matriculants I have known personally are not that impressive and seem to be a blend of legacy, VIP and athlete. What am I missing?  Perhaps it is a dying brand - what am I missing?  Does the emperor have any clothes here?[/quote]

Its underrated for poor, okay for wealthy and overrated for donut families who end up squeezing their life savings. It costs $0- 85k, value depends on how much one is actually paying.

We declined it because kid was getting $0 need based aid and there is $0 merit scholarships. Another T20 gave half tuition merit scholarship, which made it a it better value for us. We did decline full ride state schools because kid didn't want to go there and felt free isn't necessarily a good value.[/quote]
