Ruben,
You are right on a lot of fronts. I will most likely be at UPenn next fall, but that is because I cannot afford to move to the Cambridge area and live on my own to attend HES and at UPenn I can stay on campus. HES would accept approx 60 of my credits (UPenn will accept close to 50), which means I could possibly have all my courses their taught by Harvard instructors. I also believe that, after doing much research, the Harvard courses are the best in the world. I know about HES differentiating their degree from the rest of the HC students and I know at UPenn I could flow seamlessy with the rest of the student-body, but Harvard is Harvard and it would be a great opportunity, as is UPenn a great opportunity.
As for you, Jillian,
It's OK that you are an antagonist, I would never have made it this far if I didn't know how to deal with your type. A little truth and wit is what hurts you. If you feel I am sadly mistaken about anything or that I cannot compete with whoever, google "The Youngtown Edition," check out who was its Editor-in-Chief last semester, read some of the articles I've written since spring, '05, then tell me who's sadly mistaken and can't compete. The paper won a Columbia Scholastic Press Association gold medal in 2006, the highest and most respected honor a college publication can recieve, and it will undoubtedly win another for 2007, when I was Editor-in-Chief. Unlike the students at HES, I will never have to fight that uphill battle for respect at UPenn and I will eventually enroll in their Annenberg School for Communication, which is widely regarded as the best communications program in the country, so who seems sadly mistaken? Say whatever you like about me, but somewhere in the sentence make sure to stick "Ivy League bound" somewhere in there.
