I’m thinking about going to grad school for Computer Science, although admissions directors defeinitly take into account the quality of your undergraduate program, it will not hurt you if you go to Harvard over CMU. The undergraduate coursework will be just as deep and the profs will be just as good.

CMU is ranked #1 because of it’s strong graduate program, although it’s undergraduate is also very strong (I like to think best in the country) the overall quality of the Harvard student body and education outweighs CMU’s strength in a single major.
