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

Colleges & Universities A-Z Harvard University
61

<p>Economics :)</p>

62

<p>Social Sciences–Classics</p>

63

<p>Actually, I’m positive that the Classics fall under “Humanities”.</p>

64

<p>Social Sciences - 12
Humanities - 6
Biological Sciences - 6
Physical Sciences - 3
Engineering - 5
Mathematics - 2
Undecided - 1
Computer Science - 1</p>

<p>I also believe that Classics belongs in the “Humanities” category, so I put you under that instead of Social Sciences.</p>

65

<p>Sorry, my mistake…everything is blurring together…thank goodness the application process is over! :)</p>

66

<p>I’m not quite sure what Environmental Sciences & Public Policy is under but that’s what I selected.</p>

67

<p>Biological Sciences</p>

68

<p>Social Sciences - 12
Humanities - 6
Biological Sciences - 7 (<---- Couldn’t find Biomedical Engineering)
Physical Sciences - 3
Engineering - 5
Mathematics - 2
Undecided - 1
Computer Science - 1</p>

<p>Do you think it’s easy to switch majors after being accepted? I’m just curious. It’s usually pretty easy at most other schools, but it may be different for Harvard.</p>

70

<p>^Yes. You don’t even have to declare a major for a couple of years. That’s why they say it really doesn’t matter which major you write down on your app.</p>

71

<p>Undecidedd :)</p>

72

<p>Social Sciences - Economics</p>

73

<p>

</p>

<p>People switch all the time. This is just a tentative thing. That’s why they don’t take it into account for admissions.</p>

<p>I did economics by the way</p>

74

<p>^awesome, good to know-thanks guys (:</p>

<p>Neurobiology. Such a cool program/major. Only school I could find that offered a program of this magnitude and depth with a focus on interdisciplinary study. Next closest was biology and society at Cornell, but it doesn’t have the same focus on the human mind. I really hope I can get in.</p>

<p>Political Science
IR</p>

<p>Humanities- Philosophy</p>

<p>Economics is the most popular major, followed by government which is how political science is called at Harvard.</p>

<p>Haha, I’m planning on majoring in economics and having government as my secondary field.</p>
