I personally found the mathematical section to be a little too easy if possible. Any of the students from the top 10% of my 8th grade class would see those questions and start knocking them off.
To be fair to Harvard, it's never prided itself of being an institution dedicated to the practical application of mathematics or engineering. I suppose it's why I turned down their offer to attend.
It's something that I find myself wondering about as well, and the fact that I bring it up suggests that I haven't quite moved past it.
In the undergraduate program that I actually attended, the schools we had turned down was a bit of a badge of honor. A testament if you will, to how much respect we had for the program we were attending - my peers and I turned down some pretty big names to do what we did.
In retrospect however, it reflects our insecurity with that choice. Outside of our selected niche, those names still garner the most prestige, get the best job offers, are in the news most often, etc.
