<p>Although ranking is never 100% accurate and objective, Harvard’s engineering/CS is indeed not as highly ranked as its other programs. ([Rankings</a> | Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences](<a href=“http://www.seas.harvard.edu/about-seas/quick-facts/rankings]Rankings”>School Overview | Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences)) It is also interesting to note that only 23% + 11%, roughly 1/3 of its graduates work at engineering/cs industry.</p>
<p>I also noticed that when Harvard announced its yield this year, it reported 13.3 percent in engineering and computer science combined ([Harvard</a> College Class of 2017 Yield Reaches 82 Percent | Harvard Magazine](<a href=“http://harvardmagazine.com/2013/05/harvard-class-of-17-yield-reaches-82-percent]Harvard”>http://harvardmagazine.com/2013/05/harvard-class-of-17-yield-reaches-82-percent)), while the profile of admitted class of 2016 showed that the students with intended major in Engineering were 13.2% and Computer Science 2.6%
( [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Statistics](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/statistics.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/statistics.html)). This means the yield among Engineering/CS students is also lower than other admitted students.</p>
