i would turn down harvard in a heartbeat for stanford, all the other ivies, the top 20 or so LACs, georgetown, notre dame, northwestern, duke, actually any university that might be considered a match/reach for me. I would only attend harvard if i had a choice between harvard and, i don't know, santa clara university which would be a strange situation seeing as i'd probably be accepted to a couple reach/match schools if i were accepted to harvard.

I would turn down Harvard for Wake Forest, and most other top 30 schools probably. Harvard does not provide the ideal learning environment that I want in a school.

I turned Harvard down for Dartmouth, and would do so again for Princeton or Brown if given the chance.

I'd never turn down Harvard, considering how it's my dream school and my sister currently attends.

HYP aren't as strong in engineering as many other cheaper schools, so yes I would turn them down

As in if I could choose any college in America to go to, I'd probably go with MIT or Stanford, which aren't as serious into academics as Harvard is. But $ is the whole issue. If money wasn't an issue, I'd be sitting in a dorm in Atlanta at Emory University instead of getting paid to go to my state university's honors college.

I applied to both Harvard and Princeton, but I don't know that I really wanted to go to either of those places. I probably would've had to visit to know whether I'd be happy. I almost certainly would've gone to Caltech over them and possibly UCLA too. I didn't even care to apply to Stanford or Yale.
