Re:Ask HN: High school senior, deferred from Harvard. Advice? by viraj_shah on Thursday December 13, 2012 @11:14PM (#4919587)
I certainly don't disagree that going to a good school is valuable. My only statement is that it is not so important to place such a strong emphasis on the name blindly. It helps in many ways and their programs are generally known for something but I wouldn't discount the late-bloomer, super motivated kid who went to a no name school and worked his ass off to get to where he wanted to go. I would just take it in context. That's all.
