Why did you apply to Harvard?

<p>Just curious on ya'lls feelings toward Harvard :cool:.</p>

<p>It’s Harvard.</p>

<p>That pretty much summed it up for me, too.</p>

<p>They would give me money</p>

<p>challenge accepted.</p>

<p>Good financial aid, good neurobiology program/science program in general, good research opportunities, and good location.</p>

<p>Agree, it’s harvard.</p>

<p>yep, same here</p>

<p>Good college, awesome challenge, Boston=win, and if I get in I’ll consider it, though I probably won’t go. Figured I had nothing to lose.</p>

<p>More elaborate (a short why I want to go):</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Wonderful school (everyone states). Has a beautiful campus, along with a very supportive environment. Heard a lot about their undergraduate system (where they provide a lot of assistance to freshmen, and give advice etc).</p></li>
<li><p>Financial aid. They give full-ride to those who are below 50k? (might be wrong), thus another reason why I applied.</p></li>
<li><p>Brother- Will be convenient for me if I go to the same college as my brother (costs for plane etc. also for my family). Also, we can help each other along the way (like waking up, etc.)</p></li>
<li><p>Top professors, learn a lot from peers, etc. The usual standards that exist in other ivy leagues</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Amazing financial aid, and a challenging program that will get rid of the procrastinator inside of me.</p>

<p>Also I want to show my parents (grads of Moscow State University) that I accomplished something; that they didn’t leave their native country for me to not take advantage of my opportunities.</p>

<p>60k i think… ^^</p>

<p>

That is hard to get rid of even at Harvard!</p>

<p>^ Yeah, I think procrastinators are stuck with that quality for life.</p>
