What is unique to Harvard?
What do they have that Yale, Princeton, Stanford doesn’t have?
(Not saying that I can get into Harvard. Just out of curiosity)
A Harvard grad might say the answer to your second question is everything.
An additional 60 to 250 years of history?
Harvard Yard
The Lampoon
Widener Library
Boston
Different vibe than those other schools.
Also. Boston/Cambridge.
honestly you could be very successful at all of those schools. At a certain point, it’s about where you fit in and which one you like better personally.
My best advice is visit and you’ll see for yourself.
