Who has goals of going to Harvard University? (1 Viewer)

[Freakstyler09]

Me I do heaps, that's my lifes dream, hope it comes true, wadda about u guys?

 

[uac.aplcnt]

What about Oxford? The oldest english university in the world or something..I think its older than Harvard and more better?

 

[theism]

maybe as a postgrad to any of the following:

oxford
cambridge
harvard
yale
stanford
cornell
duke
princeton
brown
cornell
mit
new york
berkley
chicago
virginia
Pennsylvania

will probably do a post-grad at ANU though first

 

[uac.aplcnt]

Wow, is that in order of prestige? loll

 

[BlackDragon]

I would love to go to cambridge as a postgrad, for some reason I prefer it much more over Oxford. But I would be happy with anywhere that is a good uni, but its just that the oxbridge universities have so much history. You know, some of these buildings have existed since the thirteenth century. Amazing!!

Unless your a genius, super rich or famous, having Harvard as one of your goals will make you go crazy. You don't know the tremendous amount of effort, time, dedication and tenacity it takes. And even if you have all those qualities in abundance, your still competing with 20000 other candidates who have worked on the edge of their limits to get into Harvard.

It really is THAT hard. Getting an UAI of 99.95 is like doing an elementary school quiz compared to getting into Harvard.

ones i came up with first.

but yeah i guess it could be in order of prestige,

(with 4 or 5 errors).

yale is the best law school in the US, followed by harvard.

and i'd prefer yale over oxford/cambridge.

Why not you just go to USyd, enroll in the law school. Try out for the Harvard exchange? Though I imagine this would be tremendously difficult.

 

[theism]

haha i think people just want to go to harvard to give their ego a boost.

Any reason Cornell is there twice?


Why would you want to go to an american college....It'd drive me insane!
Cheats way into harved is be insanely good at american football!

 

[pman]

isn't the bolonga university in Italia the oldest university?

he said oldest english [speaking] uni.....to go to bolonga, you need to learn italian first

 

[John555]

Why so many American Unis though, why not the London School of Economics or London Imperial College?

mistake on my half.

i was thinking about the ivy-league unis and came up with cornell twice

 

[pman]

because he is an idiot who secretly aspires to be a yank?

IDK, who would want to live in the us anyway?

EDIT: can someone pls explain what the Ivy league is exactly and why everyone wants to go there so much?

 

[theism]

i wouldnt mind living in the states for a few years.

as for your question, it's a good question.
i mean london university is well respected, but what sounds better?

or stanford/princeton/duke

It's mainly/originally a sports conference of east coast Universities. Many great universities such as Stanford, UC Berkeley and Duke are not included in the Ivy League.

so it was a bunch of unis which competed against each other in sports?

Seems stupid that that is the basis that brought them to the top of the uni ranks worldwide...would still rather be at UOW than yale or Harvard, at least I'm in a civellised country

 

[NewiJapper]

Harvard???? Pfft.

Fernham here i come

ivy league: The term also has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism.

its like that rugby thing that the private schools in sydney have.
