What schools (if any) would you turn down Harvard for?

<p>I'm not sure but if given the choice, I could possibly turn down Harvard for:</p>

<p>UChicago, Pomona, Yale, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford.</p>

<p>Just curious as to how Harvard actually compares with other schools in people'e choices.</p>

<p>I would turn down Harvard…only because I didn’t apply there haha. I’m thinkin’ about Harvard for grad school, though.</p>

<p>First off, I won’t be getting lucky enough to make this choice, but if I had to, I would turn down Harvard for Stanford, UChicago (if I get aid) and maybe Colgate and Columbia as well…</p>

<p>If I applied and got lucky enough to be able to make this decision, I would turn it down for UChicago because it’s closer to where I live. If I had applied to Ivies, I’d prob turn it down for either Brown or Dartmouth because (Dartmouth) puts the most emphasis on undergrad education. Brown is just free-spirited…I just got another thread idea haha!!</p>

<p>Princeton!</p>

<p>If UChicago’d given me any merit money, I might well have turned down Harvard for it. It’s probably good that they didn’t, though, because that would have been very much the wrong decision for me. UChicago is a whole lot like my high school; Harvard isn’t, so I’ve grown a lot more already than I would have in four more years of the same.</p>

<p>This isn’t exactly what you asked, but I considered Stanford very, very carefully. I wanted two lives so I could try both.</p>

<p>Maybe Yale, but a HUGE maybe. I am getting more and more inclined to Harvard lately.
Honestly, if I have to face this dilemma (which I doubt), I will be thinking about it 99% of the time… :D</p>

<p>UT Austin, MIT, Michigan, GT
Harvard is not very good for engineering…</p>

<p>Stanford or whichever I felt better vibes at while visiting!</p>

<p>I know for sure I’d pick Yale over Harvard… And I’d have to go see Stanford to see which one I liked better. In all honesty I am 99.9999% sure I will not get to make this decision, and I’m not even sure if I would want this decision.</p>

<p>^if you are a swimmer, I sure wouldn’t turn Harvard down for Yale. No way.</p>

<p>n/a </p>

<p>I would choose harvard, but I can’t get too attached, amiright.</p>

<p>^^etondad
I’m not swimming the varsity level in college haha</p>

<p>Princeton! My sister did. Here is how I would choose:

  1. Princeton
  2. Harvard
  3. Yale
  4. Stanford
  5. Brown
  6. Dartmouth
  7. MIT
  8. Caltech
  9. Columbia
  10. Upenn</p>

<p>There’s a less than 1% chance I’ll ever have the chance to make this decision.
However, hypothetically, I’d most probably turn it down for Yale.</p>

<p>I will probably never be fortunate enough to have the choice, but I could possibly turn Harvard down for Michigan or Duke.</p>

<p>I might have turned it down for aid with UChicago, but I already committed sooooooo :)</p>

<p>shootastar, I agree that I would definitely chose Oxford over Harvard, but alas the brits rejected me and I have to wait in anxious anticipation for a few more weeks for ivy league decisions to come out. And actually, I like Yale better than Harvard.</p>

<p>UVa or Cornell:)</p>
