In the US, yes, it is.

people from the ivy league run the US, so it's prestigious in the US. people from oxford and cambridge run the UK, so it's prestigious in the commonwealth. it's really not any more complicated than that.

100% this, I'd guess if you asked everyone in the U.S, it'd probably go 9:1 against Oxford and Cambridge

I imagine a good percentage would response, "Isn't Harvard IN Cambridge?"

Well, I'm the OP and I live in America and I would put Oxford and Cambridge ahead of Harvard.
