Harvard - The Richest University in the World

Harvard is known as one of the best universities in existence. But what may be a little less well-known, is that they are actually the richest university, it's not even close. This video talks about where their money comes from and how they've used it to help earn their reputation and prestige.

Part of the reason Harvard's endowment stays large is because they are full of legacy students. Alumns are more likely to donate because they know there child will get in. If they had an admission policy like say mit where they only took the best and factored legacy considerations less alumns would donate less.

I lived on Harvard campus and my father was a teacher at their medical school.

I attended Harvard a few years ago, and I can attest to their financial aid. When I first started at Harvard I was just another custodian on the Janitorial staff, sweeping up halls, cleaning up trash, and solving the occasional math problem posted outside a professor lecture room, but no one expected an answer to a complex, nearly impossible problem, to come from a guy in a cleaning jumpsuit. Eventually the professor found it was me solving the math problems and told all the deans and teachers, other math professors and old college friends about me. I even met with a therapist a few times a week to talk about what is going on in my brain. Long story short, most of these kids wasted $150,000 on an education they coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.

[@saaaaadia]

The tuition price for low income students (like myself) is surprisingly low at tons of top 30 colleges. They want smart students, that become successful alumnis, so they have higher alumni donations. Most top colleges are need blind too, meaning that they don't even take into account your financial situation when you apply. If you are smart enough to get in, they'll figure out a way to help you with tuition. For instance, if you're accepted into Vanderbilt and your parents make less than $40,000/yr, they will offer you financial aid, and you can get anywhere from $45,537 to $71,213. These aren't loans. They are just willing to help you if they think you're a good fit for their school.

[@grayalien6357]

Sadie Bee the problem with this is that 40,000 is less than the average salary of a us worker. Hence let’s say that both parents work full time, and you were a good student you’d be hit with nearly a full price tuition that costs a quarter of a million dollars. this is fuckin insane for an undergraduate degree. So either your super rich or meet some kind of qualification that enables for a large subsidy.

[@potatoesaregood5127]

[@ravenlord4]

I would too. But I doubt my 3.1 GPA would have gotten me in. And that's the catch-22 for these Ivy League schools. Most of these 4.0 students would NOT be happy with just any grade, regardless of which school gave it to them. But if they admit 2.5 , 3.0 and 3.5 students to make a more normal distribution of the curve, then they dilute their "prestige". Still, not sure if I'd want to go to a school though where half the students have suicide hotline on their speed dial :P

I had a 3.7 in high school, a 3.4 in bachelors, and they graded on a different scale but I'm thinking a 3.0 in masters.

[@flyingphoenix113]

Harvard (and Ivy Leagues in general) have different priorities than, say Oxford or Cambridge. Oxford still has a rather hostile environment towards its E&M (economics and management) students, with many colleges refusing to teach the degree outright (claiming it to be unethical, antithetical to academia, etc.). Meanwhile, Cambridge has refuse to build a business school at all. Looking at other disciplines, many students attend Harvard medical school hoping to receive a massive salary as a surgeon or pharmaceutical dev. The same can be said for lawyers and the Harvard Law school. On the other hand, Oxford and Cambridge tend to emphasise the pursuit of knowledge and the benefit of mankind rather than making a profit. In fact, I know from firsthand experience that Oxford tends not to encourage its students to pursue anything outside of academia or public service (even if it is to the detriment of their potential funding). I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the Harvard/Ivy League model. I'm merely highlighting that they have a different objective than their British counterparts.

[@uyuman1]

That explains why when I saw the series Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister it was always assumed that the civil servants are either Oxford or Cambridge.

[@DOCTORKHANblog]

But that lies the differences in outlook when it comes to college. In Europe many have the two tier academic or vocational system where there's a more defined path for people when it comes to education past high school. Whereas in America college, no matter what it is, is defined as a ticket to a high paying job or an upper class life while trade schools are largely ignored.

[@552mustang]

flyingphoenix113 That's really interesting. Oxford must be pumping a lot of those academic pocket-protector professor nerds then I suppose? :-P Now see I just find that humorous but my ideal heroes are those kids who did a few years in a college like Harvard then conquered the world with businesses they started. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates Mark Zuckerberg etc. That Oxford thing sounds like a useless life. Surrounded by a veil of education and educated people and producing not much of value because you don't produce anything for the world.

[@jessewilliams7863]

552mustang it seems to embody the true essence of historical American /Britishness. The promotion of education as a tool to dominate the world through the founding principle of capitalism and on the other side the advocation of higher learning and enlightenment to control the world through civil service.

[@reintaler6355]

[@MrSchrodingersCat01]

For high schoolers, don't worry about Harvard. As long as the degree program at your local state school is accredited (for example ABET accreditation for engineering schools) your diploma is as good as anyone else's from any other school when it comes to undergraduate programs. Postgraduate degrees is where the "name" and "reputation" of the school start playing a role, and when you want to consider more prestigious universities.

[@qazmko22]

I agree a lot and disagree a little! Yes, with engineering the GPA and Degree matter the most, and schools matters less, but I have friends in Silicon Valley that tell me that there is still a bias for "top schools" that is unspoken. With that said, unless you want to have an unhealthy work-life balance, don't work in those places. lol

Was rejected by Harvard, but accepted at Cornell (which, admittedly has the highest acceptance rate of the Ivies). Never went, however, and I think it was a great decision. It is an overly-competitive and stressful environment to which you would subject yourself and it is very grating over time. I know people who leave Ivy League schools with massive depression simply because of the competitive atmosphere and a feeling like you don’t belong. I could certainly sense that problem from my brief visits to Cornell’s campus. Now I am a fairly successful young fella making more money than anybody who graduated high school with me.

[@stephenlee1664]

If you can afford going to harvard just go to a cheap trade school instead or a cheap local community college and pick a major that's guaranteed to make a return like biochem plus premed. That way you wont have to spend your life flipping burgers everyday.

[@JoseFloresEC]

I know someone who got accepted to USC SIMPLY because she had a relative who worked there. I don't think she got a special financial aid packet from it too (so she also didn't end up going there), but to get such advantage is unfair.

[@MoneyandLifeTV]

Your videos always blow my mind. I do not know how my head is still attached :) Great video!

[@thinkinternational]

My ex girlfriend went there and she was from a straight up poor family and she was almost paid to go there. Their scholarship program is really amazing. Plus when you get out having that on your resume puts you in such a ratified air. You just stand to make so much more money and have so many more connections. Mark Zuckerberg and I have a mutual friend on FB and my dumb ass only visited her there a few times, that's the kind of networking a school like that can get you.

[@dylanrakosnik9705]

Bruh, I know I been super busy lately, and less time actually watching videos, but I KNOW everyday I scroll through the subscriptions and decide which are worth my time during that particular day. Your videos are always at the top, only behind AnxietyWar and possibly CRH... Neither this video nor the Platinum music video did

[@amorfatikhb]

wish i knew about all this in middle school. i totally butchered my gpa then by thinking grades didn’t matter.

[@NotKimiRaikkonen1]

I'm glad you mentioned Harvard's financial aid. It being expensive is only sort of true. I went about ten years ago on full tuition assistance (based on my family's income) and thanks to the endowment, graduated debt free.

[@LivingInFloridaPanhandle]

Keep up the good work!

[@brosch91]

Keep up the great work, Company Man! I like your videos because the way you talk is like you are talking to a friend. You must be a pretty friendly dude irl!

[@PhoenixFlight94]

I get that the endowment is cyclical, but higher education (especially postgraduate degrees) are counter-cyclical. More people get their MBAs, PhDs etc. when the economy is shitty. This is mostly due to having a larger amount of unemployed people interested in getting a postgrad degree. As for the >50% get scholarship aid, it's certainly misleading. I went to a private university and 90%+ got scholarship aid. $2,800 for $40,000 annually it's a small (but appreciated) dent.

[@mememachine8954]

Yeah of course it is, 50% get aid, some might literally get $1000. No one is under the illusion that Harvard is packed with working class kids.

Soren too bad dislikes dont do anything to comments.

[@dorpth]

Fact: each of Harvard's schools have an official donation bracket list, itemizing what each level of donation gets you. Basically, the more you donate, the bigger a thing you get named after you. $10,000? You get a small class named after you. $50,000, a large classrom. $100,000, a lecture auditorium. $1 million, a building wing. $10-$100 million, an entire building. A Chinese billionaire recently donated $1 billion to the Harvard School of Public health, so they named THE ENTIRE SCHOOL after him. Go look up the site; they are now officially called the "Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health". On top of that, the name is only for a set amount of time. I think around 20 years. After that, the name lapses unless you donate again to renew it. Otherwise they change the name to the next big donor. And there's a long time saying of anyone who's spent any amount of time on the Harvard campus: You will never find smarter people than the Harvard students who are there on scholarship. You will never find dumber people than the Harvard students who are there thanks to old money.

[@demongrenade2748]

Idk if this is true as I cant be bothered to do the research, but I've heard that Harvard also has one of the highest violent crime rates among students in America.

[@imperialwarhawk123abc5]

DemonGrenade274 I would believe it. A bunch of spoiled kids mixing with the occasional genius that comes from the lower middle class. Coupled with the high level of coursework and the usual stresses and disorder of college life. I imagine tensions run high. I go to a normal university and I wanna grab a baseball bat and beat my roomatr with it sometimes because he didnt do the dishes and stayed up playing video games.

[@tungstenivoxide2407]

According to this: lawstreetmedia.com/blogs/crime/campus-crime-2015-top-10-highest-reported-crime-rates-large-colleges/7/ They have have 4th highest crime rate as of 2015.

[@StefanGinoFeuz]

Whit the knowledge of how it works in my country (Switzerland) one of the many points why mostly wealthy families send their children to good universities seems to be that they can afford all the additional costs of education: stable childhood, "good" neighborhood= better schools, support for the kids such as tutoring and so on. Not saying its impossible for children from low income families just that there are more indirect hurdles in their way....

[@348frank348]

maybe 2 videos per week company man? it'd be great

[@companyman114]

I really wish I could make that a regular thing but there's just so much that goes into these videos that would be very difficult to pull of as of right now.

[@felafnirelek8987]

Funny thing is, Ivy League schools like Harvard, Stanford, and Cambridge, typically have far lower tuition rates than most other schools.

[@vexonen]

I'm guessing the endowment is 38 billion edit: I was close

[@ThePsychicProject]

Amazing video. Hope this blows up

[@IsaiahGamers]

Don't be fooled. Tuition is only the beginning. What about housing costs? food? Transportation? Etc

[@jttttttt138]

Yeah but you have to live and eat anyway right? Might as well do it at Harvard

[@imperialchimpanzee122]

They pay for that too.

[@cameronkelly7704]

Seriously, they pay for it all. Heck, it isn't even just Harvard, it's most elite universities. I go to UNC Chapel Hill and I receive full need-based aid. I don't pay a bill, my dorm room, my meal plan, I even get a little bit to pay for textbooks. All I have to do is pay for incidentals, and they give me work study for that. I'm graduating next year with a degree in Poli and Econ with 0 debt.

[@collinparks6414]

I wonder if part of the reason for higher income students making up a larger share of the Harvard student body has to do with the resources they had access to prior to attending. You mentioned that rich families tend to value education more. They also have the money necessary to invest in SAT prep courses and tutors, send their kids to better school districts that receive better funding, and access other materials designed to help their kids achieve the stats necessary for admission. A poorer family may value education but lack the means to provide their children with this assistance.

[@eliasfrahat7074]

[@theredsea9126]

I hope so.

[@ForgivenbyGod-t7p]

Great video! I was surprised that it was that rich and that it was so affordable for anyone to go there. I was not surprised at how difficult it is to get accepted there though.

[@B8R8]

I disagree with your statistics. The richest university in the world is Yale not Harvard. Sure Harvard has a bigger endowment but look at the amount of students they have compared to Yale. With the way you calculated it is like, I made a million dollars and I have a family of 10 vs I made $800,000 with a family of 4.

[@Evili555]

bigman19916 but they still have more money so basically who’s richer the family of 10 or the family of four? The ratio is higher for the family of 4 but family of 10 has more money...

[@iara0]

[@darkninjafirefox]

the cost of tuition may be affordable for lower-income families but keep in mind the money that goes into SAT prep, you have to have the money to pay for tutors/prep classes and materials and need the luxury of being able to take time away from work to study or attend the prep classes. There's still a class gateway

[@unhumanized]

*plus facebook was invented there*

[@bjs301]

It doesn't change. Leaders in Washington and on Wall Street make huge donations to the Harvard endowment fund, even though they never went there, and had no connections to the school at all. When i was looking at law schools in 1976, I was confident I would get in, but pretty sure I could never afford it. I was thrilled to read in the financial aid materials a broad statement to the effect that my fears were baseless. It essentially said that "if you gain admission to Harvard, don't worry about money. We'll make sure you can afford it". And that made the form rejection letter I received hurt just that much worse.

[@politicalmemes1296]

I had a dream where I went to Harvard and let me say that the campus is great!

[@darkwoodmovies]

I think another huge factor for why rich people get in - SAT scores and GPA is pretty strongly correlated with how much money your parents have to send you to private schools and get you the best tutors.

[@long-timelistenerfirst-t-us2yy]

universities are vile and despicable through and through. state schools are the god damnedest of them all. they give needs based scholarships to upper-middle class girls and automatically deny genuinely qualifying underprivileged boys. taxes shouldn't subsidize institutionalized bigotry.

[@ryanm573]

I have friends who went and taught at Harvard...I’m was from a low income family, and Harvard loves getting lower income applicants. Their enrollment is not bias to lower income and actually want people to do better for themselves than generations prior. That and their knowledge of how to use money wisely is how they succeed

[@julcaos]

I live in Brazil and know three people that went to Harvard... But they were from high class families... So that makes this point kind of invalid...😐

[@mememachine8954]

I mean I agree I think its total BS. But you having some anecdotal evidence at best dose not make the point invalid. Kinda explains why you didn't go ;P

[@julcaos]

The Marshmallow Man probably you're right.... none the less, I still couldn't afford it and if they could, that was their luck, that's all.

[@Harrja]

The University of Texas was number 2 on the biggest endowment list from the website you used. But this was a great informative video 👍🏾

I have a relative who is going to Harvard. He lives in New Jersey and received a full ride to Princeton (which is only a 30 minute drive from his house), but his mom wouldn't let him go because she had insisted on Harvard from the time he was born just so she could brag that her child's going to Harvard (and later that her child's a Harvard graduate). Yup, the family turned down a FULL RIDE from PRINCETON and is forking over tens of thousands a year just for this prestige.
