Is it ok to put harvard svmp (summer venture in management) on resume under education section for PE recruiting?

Given the program accepts 180 kids, I think roughly 2% of applicants, would it be beneficial to add to resume or will it come off too cringy? I get there's no point of adding harvard classes/extension school because you don't need to apply to get in

As long as it's just a singular line on your resume and not a point with 4 bullets I would add it for your first FT role. You just don't want to pretend like it's some massive thing that makes you the best person on the planet when in reality it's a 1-week educational program.

The Harvard name will get you through some screeners, and it could be a key talking point for your "Why IB" answer if it's something that is important to you.
