Biology/Pre-Med @ Harvard

<p>Does anyone know how the undergraduate studies in biology and pre-med are at Harvard.</p>

<p>I know Harvard has phenomenol research and graduate programs (Harvard mouse), but I don't know how the undergraduate stacks up against other Ivies and top schools like Stanford.</p>

<p>Bio and pre-med studies are fabulous at Harvard, as they are at Stanford. Unfortunately, this isn't going to be much help in making your decision. Excellence all around.</p>

<p>BTW, the pre-med advising at H is also excellent...every upperclass house has current Harvard Med students living in whose job it is to get everyone into the best possible med school. They'll start working with you sophomore year.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply.</p>

<p>Do you know how Harvard stacks up in terms of preperation, fun, profs, and prestige against my other hopeful schools while still offering a great general education?</p>

<p>Here they are:
Princeton
Yale (I heard this is Yale's weakest point)
Stanford
Columbia
Brown (I heard Brown is fantastic)
Cornell
UC Berkeley
Dartmouth
Duke
UPenn</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I think you've heard that those are all amazing schools, and you can't go wrong. Go to the one you like the best. Hopefully, that will also be one of the ones you get into (good luck with that). You've included every ivy. As you continue your college search, you'll want to narrow your list down based on campus visits and other preferences.</p>

<p>Is Harvard pre-med more competitive than at other schools?</p>
