I, too, would say that I got an amazing undergrad education at Harvard. I felt like a kid in a candy store – so many things to learn, such great libraries, faculty doing really interesting and important work. And lots of freedom to choose your own adventure. That said, for all I know, I would have gotten an equally amazing (albeit different) education at Johns Hopkins or University of Chicago or Berkeley. And I’m not at all sure how many of my Harvard classmates got amazing educations – college, at least in a place with excellent resources, is what you make of it and different people want different things. I think “Ivies” is a meaningless category, at least from an educational standpoint.
