RACE? Assuming white for below.

Depends whether they're Jewish.

If Jewish - Harvard.

If Goy: USC

It's hard to overemphasize how Jewish Harvard is. Something like 80% of the "whites" are Jewish, and most of the 20% that are not are athletes who hang out with one another. Goys should always choose Stanford over Harvard.

that's a very small % of the student body. Harvard definitely has wealthier kids, on average, than USC.

USC is a very money-conscious, not particularly intellectual school. H would be a much better fit.

can't speak to current, but went HYP and i found plenty of working class kids--especially if you are an athlete. pretty much half of the athletes were plumbers/truckers kid types. and the other half were prep school types. if you weren't an athlete...could be pretty rough to find people of similar backgrounds. but it's college, background shouldn't matter much.

HYPSM is so elite that there is a mutual respect for the classmates who got in with no money or connections. And the prestige and difficulty is in many ways a shared bond.

agreed. i found that backgrounds were basically irrelevant. the people i keep up with nearly 20 years out are a pretty wide array of backgrounds. college social life can be a great equalizer.

I attended Harvard undergrad as a transfer student for 2 years and I attended the University of Southern California as a Crosstown ROTC Cadet for 2 years. USC is definitely less intellectual than Harvard however it's a whole lot more fun to be a student there. You can get just as good a job out of USC as you can out of Harvard.
