<p>To the OP, I’ve know other people who have gone to Harvard and didn’t like it. If you are not happy then you should transfer but it doesn’t have to be to Stanford. I say this only because at this point Stanford is very difficult to transfer into. I think being at Harvard should give you some leverage. What about CalTech, since you mentioned having some friends there? If you want to be on the West Coast there is also Harvey Mudd or Pomona.</p>
