Princeton gets on some top 10 lists as well. But the point isn't that there's anything wrong with Harvard or the Ivies in general (you'll surely get a fine CS education at Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Penn, maybe even Yale), the point is that the center of gravity in the tech startup world is right now at the schools with top-tier CS and Engineering departments, and it's not because they have some special "incubator" sauce that other universities don't, it's just that they attract a large body of entrepreneurially-focused students.
