<p>Hi everyone, I was just accepted into Harvard today. Earlier, I was wait-listed at MIT. I am not sure whether just to accept Harvard or to stay wait-listed at MIT to see whether I am accepted or not. I am looking to double major in biology and math; any help in distinguishing these two elite universities would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>Regards,
Adam</p>
<p>Also what kind of Financial aid would you expect both schools to provide? My family makes around $85000 per year in income.</p>
<p>Do you want an intensive STEM-centered college experience or an Ivy school with comparable strengths in most areas except of engineering? </p>
<p>If the former, go MIT. If the latter, Harvard. Keep in mind that with the cross-registration agreement and their being a short bus/T-ride away(5-10 minutes), you can always take some courses at the other school.</p>
<p>Just go to H. You can always cross-register to take some math classes at MIT if you want.</p>
