Aren't the legacy students the real benefit of going to Harvard? AFAICT the social network you get from Harvard is the real benefit.
It's not really the education there that makes the name stand out: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/harvard-university-2155/overall-rankings https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/harvard-university-2155... doesn't show any trends of it being particularly good at any subjects. Maybe CS theory, but that's not exactly a competitive area for universities.

The networks are what you're buying into at these places--if you get anything more than an acceptable education that lets you be a non-embarrassment to the network and the school, thats just a happy coincidence.
