<p>Both great schools. If you want to go to a phd program, Amherst will get you in anywhere becauseof hteprofessors and advisors, however, during your undergraduate years you will not have th research opportunities some Harvard students will get. For law and med school, you can't go wrong at either</p>
<p>I think you have many research opportunities at Amherst, esp. because there are only undergrads, so they get all the attention, where as at Harvard, grad students get a lot often.</p>
