harvard's rep is for liberal arts at undergrad level and it doesn't graduate many engineers compared to large state universities in engineering. you don't know this because you are a sidewalk fan who didn't attend college.
Harvard is mostly known for law and medicine, and for fact it was one of the only universities back in the early day of our country so a lot of famous people went there. that is where the 'prestige' comes from but it doesn't mean they have better professors or programs.
Harvard only recently obtained ABET accreditation in engineering.

quote:Most if not Ivy League schools, at the undergrad level, are KNOWN for massive grade-inflation. A's are handed out like flyers there. The real advantage to going to an undergrad Ivy League institution is in the networking and social doors that it opens up for you. The education is pretty average, and most programs have better counterparts somewhere else.

Don't underestimate the power of image and networking, though. It makes a Harvard undergrad degree totally worth it even though you didn't receive an exceptional education.
Where some of the Ivy League schools really shine academically is in their graduate programs. From medicine to law to business, some of the best grad programs in the world are found in the Ivy League.
