So, Bill gates, Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page etc etc did not bring their amla mater's any extra fame?
Is your bar just "do not besmirch the good name of this institution"? Then I guess nobody should care for or covet International olympiad winners.
- defen 7y agoBill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard. Neither Brin nor Page went to Harvard and are both more famous for their connection to Stanford as graduate students IMO
- rohit2412 7y agoThey did bring fame though right?
- defen 7y agoSure, but this is about undergraduate admissions, not graduate.
- sjg007 7y agoI mean I don't think the graduate level is that different.
- Retric 7y agoI think their dropping out may have hurt Harvard’s reputation as much as helped it. It’s often viewed as a place smart people and the elite go, but not always where they receive a great education.
