Harvard University

IIT and Harvard University, both are tough to enter when it comes to admission. Students studying in India believe that IIT is too tough as the admission is only based on the JEE Advanced scores, and ranks. The acceptance rate at IIT is too low (1-2%).  On the other hand, Harvard with acceptance rate between 3-4%, is tough but decide students based on the whole student profile.

Students who want to join Harvard University but studying in India should not lose hope. It is possible to take admission in Harvard if student score good grades throughout their studies. They should involve in some extra activities to add positive points in their CV. Students who have taken part in global or national activities easily get admission.

There is no comparison of Harvard with any other university. Harvard has gained its global recognition. On the other hand, Yonsei is one of the 'SKY' universities in Korea, which means it ranked top among other top-ranked universities. Also, the university is known for programs like Medicine, Business, and more.

Both Imperial and Harvard are world-class global institutions. They are both better than each other in certain aspects. Imperial stands out for its STEM and Business courses, as does Harvard, however, Harvard does have a better reputation for courses in other streams.

ICL London maintains a much stronger reputation in the European and Asian markets. Harvard has better connections in North America.

Harvard has a better global reputation and is better for students interested in liberal arts or other areas of studies. Imperial is a better choice for STEMB courses.

Yes, Princeton University is more affordable than Harvard University. Their tuition fees and living costs are very similar. However, Princeton offers several scholarships without any debt. At Harvard, students have to repay their scholarship funds at an interest rate. Princeton University scholarships also carry a better average financial package.

Both are considered very good options for an MBA. Harvard carries a better reputation for its Business education. It has a global brand and access to better resources. A Princeton University MBA is more focused on research and academics.  Though Harvard has its own business school, this is not true for Princeton.

Princeton is good for students interested in a career in tech. Harvard is better for those interested in Finance or Economics.
