<p>How is their mol bio program? My understanding is that although it is a relatively small department, a lot of money has been alocated into bio research and academics. Also, one researcher whom I worked with at MIT describes that the mol bio program is "budding." Ultimately, I'm trying to decide if Harvard will be a better match for a molecular biology major.</p>

<p>bump please</p>

3

<p>Yeah, I have the same question.</p>

4

<p>Same - I assume it's good, being Princeton and all. Maybe putting it down on the "What majors are you interested in?" question will help my chances of getting in since it's a new department and they may need people to fill it...</p>

<p>You probably know that President Tilghman is a mol prof. The summer after junior year, mol concentrators get stipends to do research on campus. The valedictorians are often mol concentrators, for some reason...</p>

6

<p>Do you know how successful mol concentrators are at getting into good medical schools?</p>

7

<p>05 val is mol concentrator and is going to Harvard.</p>

8

<p>any Nobel Prize winning professor in the molecular biology department?</p>
