I'm not impressed by people's degrees. Harvard doesn't impress me, Yale doesn't impress me, Columbia doesn't impress me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're last in your class at Harvard, it doesn't feel like you're a good student, even though you really are. It's not smart for everyone to want to go to a great school.
You know, I'm from the Midwest, man - that shapes my personality much more than having gone to Harvard.
I don't think I could have thought of any place other than Stanford to leave Harvard for.
Never say 'I went to Harvard.' Say 'I schooled in the Boston area.'
Harvard was the most intimidating experience. I felt so out of my league there.
I've been awed by the incredible opportunities that automatically float to the Harvard undergrads I once taught - from building homes for the poor in Nicaragua to landing prime White House internships.
There's probably people that go to Harvard and say, 'Listen, I went to Harvard. I got a great education, and I can't find a job, or I didn't become the success that I could have been.' Sure, I mean, you probably have that at every major university.
If Harvard is $60,000 and University of Toronto, where I went to school, is maybe six. So you're really telling me that education is 10 times better at Harvard than it is at University of Toronto? That seems ridiculous to me.
At Harvard, you don't major. You concentrate.
I just thought Harvard sounded great. So let's see if I get in. I didn't really have a big back-up plan.
