<p>Harvard graduates are not any different than any other college graduate with the same native intelligence. They could go to Wisconsin or Iowa State, it doesnt matter. The difference is in the penache and marketability of a college diploma and the expectations of employers and others thereafter. I know people who turned down the Morehead to go to Yale. It happens. But its an entirely subjective decision, based on each person’s personality and what they want out of a college experience. Honors at UNC is prestigious and its hard work. Harvard is prestigious and hard work. Who gets the job on WallStreet or into Grad School of their choice? Not a clear answer here. Depends on the student and their ability to package themselves to prospective employers and others.</p>
<p>Of course most of these threads are people fishing for accolades and braggadocio covered in faux humility. I congratulate the winners and perhaps they do have a tough decision to make, which I can fully empathize with…very, very tough call. BUT…expecting total strangers on CC to help you decide is a bit disingenuous. So make your decision, best of luck to you and be on your way. Then buy the gear of the school you select and don’t look backwards.</p>
