    Dream is a dream, okay.

    But who here wants to study at Harvard University or Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

    I want to study at either of the two but I think I do not have 'what it takes' to. I do not have much credentials.

    So, for those of you who want to study, please tell so so can we have a support group or so?

    It's always nice to chat with people with the same aspirations.

    Thank you.

    I'm in firefighter school, so it's safe to say I don't want to study there, but I do have something to pitch in.

    More and more today, American students are realizing that it's less about where you go to get your college degree, and more about getting a degree that will 1) get you somewhere and 2) is at least a bachelor's degree.

    Shooting to go to a school like Harvard or MIT is awesome - All power to you! That's a fantastic goal!
    But I think it's important to consider your less prestigious options, your less expensive options, and it may just be, your more realistic options.

    Just my two cents about colleges in the US.

    I went to Harvard as an undergrad. It was a great experience and Cambridge is a great town. Good luck!!

    I kind of wish I had tried to go to MIT. My high school crush went to MIT, and she was and is really smart, talented at higher mathematics and all the rest of it. I can't speak to the value of Harvard, but obviously, I hold MIT in very high esteem.

    Plus, Chomsky is there, and he's my homeboy.

    Do Harvard only accept those who have perfect or near-perfect SAT score?
