<p>Call me crazy, but I’d turn down a school like Harvard for a school like UVA. I’m more into the traditional college experience.</p>
<p>Heck, I’d probably even turn down Harvard for a school like USC, UCLA, or UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How about having to share your advisor with only 3 other freshmen? </p>
<p>It would have been very hard for me to decide between Pomona and Harvard, as I would really like either place. At this point though, after starting at Pomona, I know I’m going to the best college for me that I can.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There may be people who would go to U of Hawaii rather than harvard. </p>
<p>Problem is, they probably won’t apply to harvard.</p>
<p>I don’t see anyone turning down harvard for toronto though.</p>
<p>also also also</p>
<p>a few years back there was a IMO medalist who got in harvard full ride, but decided to go to SFU (not even tops in Canada… barely fit to be called a University).</p>
<p>I would turn down harvard for usc.
:)</p>
<p>hell, at this point, i’d turn down harvard for the state school (u-dub)</p>
<p>harvard is just not an experience that i see myself wanting, or having and enjoying. rankings and silver-spoon future be dammned, there’s just so much more to life than money and comfort.</p>
<p>harvard’s not all about money and rankings though. IMO boston and cambridge are beautiful cities.</p>
<p>i would turn down harvard in a heartbeat for stanford, all the other ivies, the top 20 or so LACs, georgetown, notre dame, northwestern, duke, actually any university that might be considered a match/reach for me. I would only attend harvard if i had a choice between harvard and, i don’t know, santa clara university which would be a strange situation seeing as i’d probably be accepted to a couple reach/match schools if i were accepted to harvard.</p>
<p>I would turn down all of the Ivies for Michigan, UNC, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin.</p>
<p>I would turn down Harvard for Wake Forest, and most other top 30 schools probably. Harvard does not provide the ideal learning environment that I want in a school.</p>
<p>Only for Amherst ;)</p>
<p>I turned Harvard down for Dartmouth, and would do so again for Princeton or Brown if given the chance.</p>
<p>I’m going to be honest and say no lol:)</p>
<p>i’d turn down harvard for ubc, because canada is awesome and vancouver is gorgeous. i’d basically turn harvard down for most everything else haha. any ivy, actually, i have absolutely zero desire to attend one!</p>
<p>I don’t even want to go to Harvard. At all.</p>
<p>Yes. Stick it to the man.</p>
<p>I’d never turn down Harvard, considering how it’s my dream school and my sister currently attends.</p>
<p>Maybe. I need big-time sports to be happy.</p>
<p>HYP aren’t as strong in engineering as many other cheaper schools, so yes I would turn them down</p>
<p>As in if I could choose any college in America to go to, I’d probably go with MIT or Stanford, which aren’t as serious into academics as Harvard is. But $ is the whole issue. If money wasn’t an issue, I’d be sitting in a dorm in Atlanta at Emory University instead of getting paid to go to my state university’s honors college.</p>
<p>I applied to both Harvard and Princeton, but I don’t know that I really wanted to go to either of those places. I probably would’ve had to visit to know whether I’d be happy. I almost certainly would’ve gone to Caltech over them and possibly UCLA too. I didn’t even care to apply to Stanford or Yale.</p>
