<p>Slik Nik, I still think that Harvard’s physical science department is in the top echelon of the best of the very best science schools on earth. I would personally rank it number one. As a whole, it is next to none. MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton and Cambridge are all fighting for the next best school for science. Harvard still attracts the best students who are interested to study science (biology, chemistry, math and physics). It’s enrollment yield is unbeatable. engineering is another story altogether.</p>
