Has anybody with an ASU undergraduate ever been accepted by Harvard grad school? (Not Harvard law)
I know that GPA, GRE and recommendations matter. I’m just interested in statistics. Anyone?
NOBODY, I guess.
Why just harvard?
@ClarinetDad16 - Fine. Any Ivy grad school (Other than law, medicine)? And not from the 90s.
Is that any different? The only worth grad schools are Ivy? There are many excellent grad schools - some far better than “Ivy”.
@ClarinetDad16 - If there aren’t any examples you’ve got with Ivy, then you can give me other examples. Hopefully someone else can give Ivy too.
State schools have a chunk of the best grad programs in statistics such as Cal, Washington, Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn State, etc.
@ClarinetDad16 - Either you didn’t get my question or you’re not answering correctly.
Do you know if anybody in the top grad schools has done their undergraduate in ASU? That’s all I’m asking.
Don’t take it too seriously if you don’t get an answer here. College Confidential is mostly about undergrad admissions. Most members leave before freshman year. There are very few grad students, and I can’t even recall any current Harvard grad students. And though there is a small group of Harvard parents, I can’t recall any parents of Harvard grad students.
If you’re lucky you might get some friend-of-a-friend answers. But if you don’t, that’s probably a function of chance more than anything real.
@WasatchWriter - Thanks. That would be ok. If you’ve got some examples too, it’d be great!
I listed many of the top grad schools in the subject you stated. Why wouldn’t top graduates from ASU get in?
My friend Google and I tried “Arizona State undergraduate harvard graduate” and found this:

@palm715 - Thanks. That’s a little helpful.
Also re: “NOBODY”: you posted at 4 in the morning, East Coast time. “NOBODY” was awake yet.
@bodangles - Sorry. Got any examples?
You’re not getting serious replies because no serious grad applicant, one who has done his research and has a chance, tries to get into “the Ivys” the way the high school naifs approach their UG admissions. Grad programs are driven by department. I was in grad school for a while and never heard the term “Ivy” once, ever, from any classmate or prof regarding depts., schools, or programs.
@snarlatron - What’s your point? An ASU CS undergraduate would not want to do get a post graduate at Ivy in the CS department? NOBODY wants to?
Where did you get your undergrad and post grad from, if you don’t mind telling me, that is.
@Crseven: The most expedient way to find an answer to your question is to go directly to the source. Contact the Harvard’s Graduate School Alumni Association of your choice: There are 11 graduate schools at Harvard. I’ll start you off with 3 of them and you can google the rest: http://www.harvard.edu/schools.

^ Or ask ASU how their graduates fare in Ivy grad school admissions.
OP: some of the push back you’re receiving on this thread is due to your initial question which implies you’re only shopping for an Ivy grad program solely b/c it has the Ivy brand name.
It’s akin to your walking into a social event but only speaking to the pretty, tall, slender blonde women and ignoring everyone else. Immediately you get the stink eye from everyone else in the room, and eventually the blondes catch on too and see your shallow game .
Inherently, there’s nothing wrong with socializing w/someone you find attractive. But it’s super shallow to preclude everyone else. In your case, you want to see if an Ivy grad school is possible – immediately, your Ivy-fever is suspected by readers and respondents – who know there are MANY great non-Ivy grad schools
