<p>Mr. Gates is not a very good advertisement for Harvard - I mean didnt he figure out rather quickly a better place to be considering his particular brand of genius? That is why I think Stanford and MIT represent the future- read his speeches!</p>
<p>The “better place” where he figured out he needed to be wasn’t Stanford or MIT. In economic terms, the opportunity costs Bill Gates would have incurred were too great to stay in school, ANY school.</p>
