| h-bomber, I think that's a really good point. It's hard to pinpoint a set of attributes that give Harvard a unique character (except your point 3b about the extracurricular culture). They just do everything better than everyone else and it's this unbeatable combination that continues to draw the best and brightest.
mom2319, I agree that the characteristics of the student body may come into play when fit is considered, whether they are "your people", so to speak. But that's something that a prospective student simply cannot determine before being accepted and matriculating.
Let's change it up a bit...what makes you LOVE Harvard? What are those intangibles? |
