Why Harvard?

<p>Hey everyone!</p>

<p>I wanted to get some input on why some people chose Harvard over other great schools that may have offered admission to them(any other Ivy/any other top school). Although these are two completely different areas of study, I am looking into completing a pre-med major or an international relations major. I'm a rising senior in high school. I would greatly appreciate any comments because they will help me decide on whether or not I should apply depending on if Harvard is a good fit for what I want to study.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! Feel free to share :)</p>

<p>Pre-med is not a major. To apply to medical school, you are required to have some courses as prerequisites, like organic chemistry, but it is by no means a major at most schools - it is a track.</p>
