Harvard or Columbia?

<p>So I was pretty committed to Harvard (I'm even wearing my Harvard Class of 2016 shirt right now haha) and then Columbia sent me their John Jay Scholar thingy, so now I'm back in limbo. </p>

<p>So if anyone has anything to offer for advice and stuff, that'd be cool. </p>

<p>Here's some background/what I'm most interested in finding out about:</p>

<p>I'm into East Asian History and/or Neuroscience (and Folklore/Mythology for Harvard)
So, museum internships and career services/alumni network for nopros and museums
And pre-med advising and research in neuroscience is cool/important too
I'd like to get a single, but I can provide some medical documentation for reasons why so even at Harvard I (hopefully) won't have too hard of a time for that
I'd like to be a coxswain, and I've been in contact with some Harvard coaches but I don't know about Columbia's crew program
Support for learning new languages is important
Study abroad's important</p>

<p>The sweetest part for the JJ scholar with me is the abillity to get grants for summer stuff easily, so if anyone knows how Harvard's grant system works and can illumine that, that'd be pretty cool.</p>

<p>I think that's mostly it. So if anyone can kind of explain a few things about why Harvard might be better than Columbia (or not, as the case may be) on those points I mentioned, that would be pretty amazing. So thanks in advance, and congrats class of 2016!</p>
