I haven’t been on here for a few years, and just clicked on for old times sake. My son (CC '08) chose Columbia over Harvard, as did others I know of in his year. He had his reasons… the core, music, NYC, etc. But mostly he went with his gut. He adored his Columbia experience.

He might very well have been as happy at Harvard, of course. But the main argument people use about Harvard is the opportunities it leads to afterwards. Just want to assure you he went onto a PhD program at Stanford. So, I’d encourage you to make your choice – whatever it is – based on where you think you are likeliest to thrive. Then, don’t look back.
