I attribute this to the fact that Harvard is more famous than other Ivy League schools; whenever a movie or TV show references a character going to a top notch school it is always Harvard. So there might be a perception among applicants that Harvard is better because it is more famous and thus slightly harder to get in to.</p> I suggest looking at Brigham Young University as an Ivy League equivalent.
