<p>Econ and Spanish, or Econ and Music.</p>
<p>yes, you can create your own concentration, encompassing just about any combination of fields you want, as long as you can demonstrate how you are going to meaningfully combine them, and get harvard to approve it</p>
<p>Sweet! I'm set then. :D</p>
<p>"Judging by this year 90% will change your minds anyway."</p>
<p>How much do you want to bet? :)</p>
<p>But my impression is that you have to have a decent reason to do so. For instance, your combination of "poli sci and intel relations" doesn't need a new major. Both are basically fields within the Government concentration that you can specialize in. But even beyond that, I would look first to a concentration like Social Studies, which allows you to combine courses from anthropology, government, economics, history, philosophy, and other related fields to build a course of study that fits your needs. </p>
<p>Basically what I'm saying is that you shouldn't come to Harvard set on creating some strange new concentration. Not because it is impossible, but because it usually isn't needed. Also, I feel like you would miss out on the guidance of being within a specific department or sitting committee ( i.e Social Studies or Hist&Lit).</p>
<p>Economics
Government
(Statistics)</p>
<p>At this point, I'd just like to GET IN. =P</p>
<p>To squaregirl: Does Harvard really satisfy the "concentration" that you are interested in, or do you want to get in because it's rank 2 Ivy League?</p>
<p>Hah, no. I actually like Harvard for a lot of reasons, including location, the student body (some of the coolest people I've ever met), and the opportunities available. The general assumption that everyone who applied to Harv did so because of the prestige is not entirely accurate. =P</p>
<p>^ I applied so that I could kick Prof. Witzel in the nuts, and then run away shouting curses in Sanskrit and reconstructed IndoEuropean.</p>
<p>Not really........But I would totally do that if I could.</p>
<p>HAH. C-hope : 1, Prof. Witzel : 0.</p>
<p>Perhaps you could answer this question for me White_Rabbit: is there a limit to the number of applicants the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies accepts? Or do they just accept anyone who has good marks and a coherent study plan?</p>
<p>History ......10 char</p>
<p>I'm not sure. I believe there is, but I don't think that it is terribly difficult to get in. I think if you take Social Studies 1a and do well, then you will most likely get in.</p>
<p>Anthropology (Sociocultural/Linguistic), Spanish, Chinese/East Asian Languages and Civilizations.
Pre-med track.
And whatever other languages I can get my hands on (Hebrew and Japanese, maybe a couple Russian classes to improve my grammar/writing?)</p>
<p>Yay languages! Although Hebrew and Japanese...that's one interesting combo. =P</p>
<p>East Asian Studies</p>
<p>Sanskrit & Indian Studies
biochem</p>
<p>^ w00t for Sanskrit!</p>
<p>Of course…You’ll have to put up with Witzel…</p>
<p>This is my precise qualm with Harvard. I would love to go to the school, but the truth is, Yale DOMINATES for what I wish to major in (Drama + their really neato Ethics, Politics and Economics major).</p>
<p>Sigh… oh Harvard!</p>
