Harvard Vs. Princeton in UNDERGRAD Human Biology/Neurobiology, CS, Political Science

<p>How does Harvard place in comparison with P on these three fields? I keep hearing that P is best for undergrad, while H is best for graduate/medical school - Yes, I know that Harvard has #1 graduate/medical schools, but what about its undergrad in these fields?</p>

<p>One point to consider on the Poli Sci major at Princeton-- keep in mind the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs is a competitive major. You apply freshman year for entry as a sophomore. Ninety students are admitted. There is also the Department of Political Science for classes.</p>

<p>As for the H/P debate–both will be a fantastic experience. H has the resources of many grad programs, med school and hospitals for research, the Institute of Politics. Princeton has perhaps a bit more of a supportive attitude for undergrads as that is their main population. Also, P has more greenery, open spaces near the canal and lake, quiet, while still being a 55 minute train ride to NYC.</p>

<p>^ The political science major at Princeton has never been selective; only the major in public and international affairs has been. However, Princeton recently announced that even the public and international affairs major will no longer be selective: all students who wish to declare it may do so.</p>

<p>The website, today, still indicates the WWS is selective, accepting 90 sophomore undergraduates Unfortunately it does not clarify how many students it will be accepting for the '11-'12 schoolyear. </p>

<p>Could you link the source for new policy silverturtle?</p>
