<p>I am not in the business of "boosting" Harvard or any other school, or urging people to attend Harvard, or not to attend. Nor have I EVER said "Harvard is the best" at anything except Ivy League football (this season.) Nor have I ever once said that either Stanford, or Yale, or Princeton or MIT are not fin e schools that anyone should be proud to attend. You apparently have either misread, or misunderstood, my posts.</p>
<p>I do, however, take exception to the very poor, cliche-ridden "advice" that is handed out here and at other sites. Whenever possible, I do like to call attention to hard data giving the lie to the bragging and stereotype flogging that is so common.</p>
<p>I must say I find your advice is far more cliche ridden than might be expected from one with the resume you have laid out for us, and the shallow, pop-psychology generalizing with which you pepper your prose is particularly silly..</p>
