Harvard vs. MIT (serious)

[haughty cipher]

Hello,

Is Harvard better than MIT?

In terms of
A) Selectivity for Internationals
B) Prestige
C) Alumni Networks
D) Investment Banking
E) Anything but Engineering

[shrewd olive]

literally zero difference

across the board here

maybe A though?

i think MIT quotas int'ls because its need blind international

[leaden coyote]

For investment banking probably Harvard. But at that point it doesn’t matter

[shrewd olive]

it really doesnt

[rotund ember]

Harvard is also need blind international

And soft quotas (thohgh historically the percentage international is higher at Harvard )

[shrewd olive]

ah i see

[vast pond]

No difference for the first three, Harvard is better for (D), MIT is better in sciences and engineering for (E)

[rotund ember]

MIT is better in sciences
😤 smh

engineering fine idt I can argue that one

[shrewd olive]

oh also i forgot to mention that you can cross register so literally nothing matters

LOL

[rotund ember]

this isn't quite true lol

you can't get a degree from the other and it's hard to properly belong to the others' community

and you have to fill geneds at each

and sometimes there are barriers to xreg

[rotund ember]

econ
smh

also y'all are like trying to squeeze out like epsilon difference between grad level ranks

for undergrad, imho there are things that matter much more than +- 5 department ranks

[shrewd olive]

Well yeah

It's cross registration not a dual degree
