[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will come up with all kinds of reasons to say otherwise, but Harvard is superlative in virtually every course of study and opens the greatest number of doors. I’d only say otherwise if they want to go into engineering.[/quote]

No I agree and I’m an MIT grad. If more of a generalist and not passionate about engineering, should default to H for the name brand.[/quote]
At MIT, were most of the classes taught by professors or grad students? I'm hearing that at Harvard, many classes are not taught by profs. [/quote]

I never attended a class that wasn’t taught by a tenured professor. For the large freshman courses (think Multivariable Calc or intro to CS), the recitations were led by grad students. For all other courses, even the recitations were led by tenure-track profs. Excellent, excellent teaching throughout.

That being said, I would still recommend H for a generalist. At that point the name brand is more valuable than the learning.[/quote]
