For all the RDers this year: what did you select as your major?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
1

<p>also, what's the most popular at Harvard?
Thanks :)</p>

2

<p>Economics ;)</p>

<p>I was undecided. According to the Princeton Review, Psychology, Economics, and Government are the three most popular concentrations.</p>

5

<p>Ohh snap, I chose Social Sciences :)</p>

6

<p>Mathematics</p>

7

<p>Biological Sciences</p>

8

<p>Humanities.</p>

9

<p>Just for reference, what does psychology fall under for the Harvard Supplement since it did not allow picking specific majors but simply the field?</p>

10

<p>^social sciences</p>

<p>I want to major in sociology, so I also picked social sciences.</p>

11

<p>Are you sure it’s not in humanities? ^</p>

<p>Nope, it definitely looks more like a social sciences concentration.</p>

13

<p>Haha fledgling I was talking about Psychology. Sociology is definitely a social science field but I was slightly unsure about psychology. Anyone know?</p>

14

<p>Psychology is also a social science. Humanities is moreso languages, arts, music, history, etc.</p>

15

<p>I selected Humanities, and I’m thinking English.</p>

<p>I agree, psychology is almost definitely a social science and even has a scientific element.</p>

16

<p>I want to be an Economics major. :)</p>

17

<p>Engineering</p>

18

<p>There were four choices available, correct?
They were: Social Sciences, Humanities, Biological Sciences, and one other…</p>

<p>Well, so far the breakdown of those who’ve responded are:
Social Sciences - 2
Humanities - 3
Economics - 2
Biological Sciences - 1
Mathematics - 1
Undecided - 1 </p>

<p>:)please copy & paste the above when you add your own</p>

19

<p>I’m pretty sure there were only two would-be Humanities concentrators (me and useyourname).</p>

20

<p>Physics :D</p>

<p>Edit: @ Rainbow I believe the other would be natural sciences (math, chem, physics)</p>
