@SomeDancinPanda If your parents can afford Harvard or Stanford without going into significant debt or anything then go for one of them vs UVA. Both choices are top notch for what you want to study/do later, maybe Stanford has a slight edge for entrepreneurship but Harvard holds its own and more. It comes down to fit I think. I don’t think Harvard is more cutthroat than Stanford and also there is a strong tech component at Stanford but I wouldn’t say it dominates all else given that Stanford is super strong in the humanities/social sciences too not just STEM. Just research the schools as much as possible, look at previous Stanford vs Harvard posts in here, ask around if there are any Stanford, Harvard alumni or current students from your high school.
