Quote from Lorelai in The Road Trip to Harvard
Lorelai: Wow. Harvard is over 300 years old. Rory: Founded in 1636. Lorelai: That means almost everyone who ever went to Harvard is dead now. You sure you still wanna go here? Rory: Yes, I'm sure. Lorelai: They developed the pacemaker here. Also discovered how electromagnetism and radioactivity are two manifestations of the same force and postulated existence of a charmed quark. I was wondering who did that. Rory: The smarties at Harvard. Lorelai: Holy smokes. They get an average of 18,000 applicants every year, and only 2,000 get in. Those are not good odds. Rory: Mom. Lorelai: No, no, you're different.
