[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say that it is 100% clear in fields outside of ones that PP mentioned as well.  While engineering isn't necessarily as strong at Harvard, the non-applied sciences (i.e. biology, chemistry, and physics) are extremely strong.  I would say that if someone wanted to be a chemistry major, the departments at all three universities are equally strong.  In certain subfields of chemistry (like organic chemistry), Harvard has historically been stronger than MIT.

The engineering departments at Stanford are incredibly strong as well.  Silicon valley and Boston are two of the best job markets in the country for people with technical backgrounds.  If you are in the fortunate position of choosing between these three universities, then it is totally a matter of which is the right fit.  [b]I certainly know people who have chosen Stanford over Harvard[/b] or MIT, and if you think that's ludicrous, you just have a weird east coast bias.[/quote]

For example, Chelsea Clinton comes to mind.[/quote]
