<p>HARVARD is a brand name.</p>
<p>it's a name thing. </p>
<p>I have a few friends there who would transfer out in an instant but are unfortunatly bound to that 'harvard' name. sucks for them, really.</p>
<p>because it's harvard.</p>
<p>i would like to know the same...
i would never go to harvard...</p>
<p>"i would never go to harvard"</p>
<p>Its easy to reject something, when you think it will reject you first. I think people bash Harvard far too constantly on CC threads. Obviously, fit plays a critical role but there can't be this many people who would "never go to Harvard". They win more cross-admit battles than any other school.</p>
<p>The school has a lot of money and many of its programs are ranked number 1 or near that.</p>

<p>uh, i hate being in a cut throat competitive environment, I visited and I don't enjoy Cambridge over other college towns esp. the ones that I'm considering for next year, although the student body may be an impressive bunch i receive a snobbish vibe from them which i dont want to be a part of...</p>
<p>no really, i didnt apply. and if offer admission, i'd never go.
just because its ranked first in almost all categories doesn't make it a school for everyone...</p>
<p>i feel the same way as the op...</p>
<p>i was accepted to Harvard, but I also got into Columbia. I am in love with columbia but everyone is pressuring me to go to Harvard because it's name is so well-known and respected (more so than Columbia).</p>
<p>I agree Miche:</p>
<p>After I had applied to Grad School and was beginning to hear back a friend of mine asked me what school was #1 in the field in which I was looking. Harvard of course. It then occured to me that I hadn't ever even considered applying to Harvard. I don't think I would ever want to go to Harvard, even if I had applied and been accepted.</p>
<p>va bene! i assume you go to Cornell?</p>
<p>screw harvard</p>
<p>rice all the way</p>
<p>I m asian btw.</p>
<p>Mich: I go to a small LAC currently. I will be attending Cornell next year. (Masters of Landscape Architecture Program)</p>
<p>It's a self-sustainin cycle...almost
it draws the brightest students in the country, and in turn these bright students draw bright students who want to be in the company of bright students.</p>
<p>Mainly its easier to get jobs right after graduation or even before it because of its reputation.</p>
<p>sccrew big H
Go Stanford, USC, Pepperdine, CMC.</p>
