[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s  the thing… 
What makes Harvard so extraordinary? Sure it’s a wonderful school and your student will definitely get a good education, but why are people so obsessed with getting into HYP?
It’s about the future connections. It might not pan out for every student, but it’s worth it for more than a few.
Lots of snide comments about “legacy” admits, but let’s get real. [b]Those are the exact kids you are hoping to form a bond. It’s those interpersonal relationships that pay off in the end. 
I suspect that if the gate keepers children aren’t given their due, the gates will move elsewhere. It’s a club and you ain’t in it. [/b]

This is so true. Harvard is a relatively mediocre education at the undergraduate level. It's the caliber of the student body admitted, the cachet and connections that make the difference. Even then, it really only gets you through that first hoop or two post-graduation. You still have to perform, but you have a lot further to fall. And graduate schools can't be 100% HYPS grads. So again, you'll compete with your HYPS classmates for those coveted graduate positions as well as those prestige professional positions (law/ibanking/consulting/PE/tech/etc). [/quote]
