<p>Is harvard looking for more engineering-minded students? Would it technically be easier to get in with an intent to study engineering than it would to intend to study a more popular major?</p>

<p>Harvard has been working to expand/enhance its engineering programs. It probably wouldn’t hurt to declare as an engineering concentrator, if your overall application shows that that’s what you’re really about. But it’s unlikely to be much more than a small weight in your favor, if at all. The university doesn’t seem to lack for STEM applicants.</p>
