[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford is real competition now and may fully eclipse Harvard in the near future. Both are great in nearly every field for both undergrad and grad. Stanford has been better in most STEM fields and actually has a larger overall endowment when real estate is included. Stanford has also become the biggest name in modern Asia given the Silicon Valley connection and accessible West Coast location. Harvard is still unrivaled in Europe though, where Yale is the next biggest name.[/quote]

On the east coast, Yale and Stanford are second tier.[/quote]

BS. I'm an insane Harvard booster but this is delusional (at least for Stanford).[/quote]

MIT, Princeton, and Harvard are well above Stanford[/quote]

Stanford is as good or better than MIT in even MIT's best areas and MIT's other offerings are not close to Stanford's. 
Princeton hardly tries to be a serious research university. It will continue lag behind HYS in name recognition too. Princeton and Dartmouth may provide the best undergrad educational experience among these top universities but they are just not in the same non-sports league as Harvard (or Stanford).
Stanford's rise is a prime example of how things have changed in the US (west and east) and in the world (east and west).[/quote]
