<p>Interested in doing Econ and EECS. Trying to decide between these two schools. Would be grateful for thoughts on pros and cons, Harvard vs. MIT. Thanks.</p>

<p>for econ, i’d say harvard. for ee or cs, mit. of course, unless you pick harvard for ee, all the other combination are amazing.</p>

<p>Why not attend both? Students from either school can cross-register for (IIRC) up to 50% of their courses at the other. Except for EE at Harvard, both have spectacular departments in all referenced fields (including MIT economics), so you could attend MIT as a course 6 and/or course 14 (EECS and economics, respectively) and cross-register for anything that seemed interesting at Harvard. Just a suggestion, of course – this isn’t exactly a Pugh decision matrix.</p>

<p>Why not just go to MIT? EE and CS are top notch there and econ is prob a bit better at Harvard. But that’s not to say econ at MIT is not amazing.</p>

<p>Harvard=MIT in econ because Harvard is 2 and MIT is 1.</p>

<p>so it doesn’t equal it lol… MIT is still better.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your kind responses. I really appreciate your input. It’s very helpful. I attended CPW. Visiting H this weekend. Then decision time. Anyway, best wishes to you all.</p>
