It's much less important where you get your undergraduate education
than where you get your graduate education. Any "good" school will do
and this includes many smaller colleges. It is extremely unlikely that
the extra expenses of Harvard are worthwhile unless you are going into

One interesting thing is that many collegues do not make differences between
