I'm at a crossroads in my life now and I have the lucky dilemma of having to choose between Harvard and Stanford (which one should I take? :P) so...which one do I take?

Can anyone tell me about the quality of life as a grad student at Harvard and Stanford? I've been accepted to the PhD physics programs at both schools and have no idea which one to choose. Since both schools are excellent academically and I don't yet have a specific area I want to specialize...

I actually want to know, is it like four years of undergraduate mathematics crammed into one? Are there actually people who get like 4.0 GPAs in that course?

Does Harvard expect people with straight A's in every subject in academic (including history, English, etc.) and perfect 2400 on SAT for getting into Ph.D program in mathematics in Harvard, or they expect just average scores on other academic subjects and SAT, but perfect 800 on mathematics on...

Which other schools do not accept transfer students other than Harvard, or is it only Harvard that doesn't do this? If Harvard accepted transfer students would it over populate their school?

I'm just wondering, but if you are a good student at HYPMS or maybe even UPenn, is there a good chance of earning near 100K fresh out of college? Or is this just a big misconception that most ambitious high school students have?

I haven’t been the best of students in school. When I say that I mean I have really bad grades my GPA is a bought a 62 now.
