<p>But the myth of Harvard exists unrealistically in people's minds.</p>

ah the chinese community...to be accepted to harvard is to become God
[/quote]
i can really really vouch for that. acceptances to H is made front-page news in chinese newspapers in my country. and within the community, you either get accepted to H or to "other schools". Princeton? Just another US school. Stanford? Think I heard that before. Yale? Sounds like a brand of a lock i know.</p>
<p>"Sure it's not number one in everything, and i might just goto wharton, but it's tops in everything. Penn can claim wharton, but their college is.. well, yeah. Similar things can be said about many of the other schools. Try going to Gatech for psychology, or better yet, HARVARD for Engineering..."</p>
<p>DEAS sucks, which is true, because all the kids xreg at MIT; which is a benefit of being a harvard student. and going to harvard these days for engineering while money is being poored into their new allston campus with $$$$ for nanotechnology may not be that BAD of a bet.</p>
<p>Yes DEAS is one of harvard's deficiencies, no body is perfect. So if you want to do engineering, either apply to MIT or goto harvard and xreg, the oppurtunity is there.</p>
<p>In this way, go to Caltech for literature, that's the funniest thing I have ever heard, and a guy did it.</p>
