A lot of them converge at top private unis but Harvard must have the most of them.

Why? This is how I see it but I could be wrong.

Top private unis are attracted to most elite students. but top private unis are very expensive…unlike top public unis that give scholarship grants and discounts to their in-state students so to be able to go to a top private uni, he must have a scholarship grant to waive for the high tuition costs.

Why most of them are in Harvard? I’m not really sure why. It could be the “fit” factor. Loyalty could be the reason for the others. To some, convenience it is. I don’t really know unless we ask all of them why they chose Harvard over schools like Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, Virginia, Michigan, Columbia, UPenn, Rice and the like.
