<p>ummmm, surprised there are no Princeton fans chiming in here. Princeton has a far better undergraduate program (not everything is grabbed by frantic graduate students), higher alumni support, usually better USNWR ranking. </p>
<p>About 50% of kids admitted to both Harvard and Stanford choose Stanford. They clearly don’t think H is the best, at least for them.</p>
<p>MIT and Caltech could certainly chime in too.</p>
<p>and of course Yale. But rivalries keep everyone on their toes.</p>
