<p>Honestly, would it even be remotely possible to say that Harvard is “underrated?” And how often is the public perception of any iconic entity precisely accurate? So what other possibility does that leave?</p>
<p>hehe, I walk by Harvard yard everyday after school. Tons of tourist bring their little children and take pictures. “Son, You are going to Harvard when you grow up.”</p>
<p>I’m like… your in my way. Pls move pls 
lol</p>
<p>These threads questioning whether Harvard is overrated are not productive. There is no doubt that Harvard is an outstanding university. Its deserved rank is not worthy of discussion as any claims that specify exactly what rank it should be are too subjective to have any general application, and claims that the university is not worthy of a high rank are without basis.</p>
<p>^ Well said, silverturtle. The same can be said for ______ [insert the name of your favorite elite institution].</p>
