Why is MIT so underrated against Harvard? I thought the MIT would teach top computer skills that are so valuable today in banking. Is the CS program in Harvard so much better?
These are companies that hire out their employees as powerpoint-generating consultants for x00 dollars an hour and need to be able to say that they all went to Harvard/Yale/Princeton. I'm pretty sure it's the kind of racket MIT students aren't very interested in anyway.
Also looking at the alumni, MIT has produced quite a few successful people in banking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Massachusetts_Institute... . Of course there are much more Harvard alumni getting at this level also.
