Harvard is best known for their law and business schools more so than engineering, computer science or applied math (STEM) rather and humanities and it is consistently ranked 1st. Similar to UVA in their general focus so UVA should't complain.


I don't get this attitude that Harvard is weak in STEM. Sure Harvard has less emphasis on engineering (MIT is right there, after all), but Harvard's PhD programs have consistently been either #1-2 in Chemistry, in the top 5 in math and physics, and in the top 5 or so in most biological sciences (molecular biology, biochemistry, etc.). In fact, Harvard Medical school is top notch, and there is a lot of research there and collaborations with the biological sciences. There is plenty of top notch STEM research coming out of Harvard. It's emphasis is just different.

Thanks. Because I really value the opinion of nerds from underdeveloped economically struggling European countries.
