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

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
41

<p>Any school really. I’ve never had a dire need or interest to go to Harvard. I’d rather go to any school in my state then to travel to that university.</p>

42

<p>Quite a few years ago I turned it down for Newhouse(Syracuse). My father still thinks I’m nuts. Grad school at Columbia softened the blow. Never once hv I regretted it.</p>

43

<p>I would probably choose Princeton over Harvard.
Maybe Stanford.
Not Yale or MIT for sure.</p>

44

<p>

</p>

<p>fascinating!</p>

<p>thanks for the info</p>

45

<p>Taylor Gang University or Ball So Hard University. Both very solid undergraduate institutions for aspiring doctors and professors.</p>

46

<p>Claremont McKenna, Pomona, UCLA, Stanford, USC (depending on scholarship), UC Berkeley, UC Irvine (depending on financial aid)</p>

47

<p>Ball So Hard U does have the exclusive ‘Streets’ major…</p>

48

<p>I ball so hard some people try outsmart me…but I shank them in a heart beat!</p>

49

<p>hahahahaha I read post #30 right now thinking “dang those stats are almost identical to mine! even right down to my brother being at Stanford!” Then I realized that the poster was my dad! Lol, we’re so consumed with CC! :)</p>

<p>P.S. those are indeed my choices. :)</p>

50

<p>^ Haha that’s great. </p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

51

<p>If I was blessed with having to make this choice, the only school I’d choose over Harvard is MIT…</p>

52

<p>I’ll be choosing Notre Dame over Harvard here in about a month or so… we’ll see though :)</p>

<p>I’d also choose Stanford, Brown, Rice, or Georgetown over Harvard (but I didn’t apply to any of these, just Harvard)</p>

<p>Vanderbilt and MIT couldn’t possibly trump Harvard though, IMHO.</p>

53

<p>Princeton, Stanford and maybe Duke and Pomona (admittedly a little biased)</p>

54

<p>Possibly – possibly, I stress – Oxford.</p>

55

<p>I have an offer to study law at Oxford this October and am awaiting the decision from Harvard like everyone else. If I am lucky enough to get accepted from Harvard, I genuinely have no idea which to choose! I’m not thinking about it at all really as I’m expecting the rejection and I’m already lucky enough to have such a wonderful opportunity :)</p>

56

<p>If the stars happen to align and things work in my favor, I could possibly see myself picking Penn over Harvard, because Penn is an absolutely terrific school and because I lived in Pennsylvania for 10 years.</p>

57

<p>UChicago maybe. But I won’t have to worry about that, since I’ll almost certainly be rejected in 11 days…</p>

58

<p>MIT or Caltech, without hesitation.</p>

59

<p>I’d turn it down for Princeton, Stanford, Caltech, and MIT.</p>

<p>Hogwarts.</p>
