[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard offers the best liberal arts education in social science, economics, humanities, etc. It also has the best STEM programs in the Ivy. Harvard consistently ranks #2 in college math competition behind MIT. If you want to experience MIT's engineering/cs, you could take classes there. Having a top business school, public policy, law, and medical schools also gives undergrads a lot of opportunities for research. If the grade inflation stuff is true, that will be another bonus. And there are a lot you can do in Boston.[/quote]

You are delusional if you think Harvard is well regarded in STEM.

Harvard engineering ranks below UC-Boulder, Maryland, USC, UC-San Diego, UIUC, Georgia Tech, and Purdue. Not to mention MIT, Stanford, CalTech, Duke, NU, Michigan, CMU, Texas, UCLa, Berkeley and many more. Even in the Ivy League, which is not particularly impressive in engineering or CS, Princeton, Cornell, Penn, and Columbia all rank higher.

For undergrad, Harvard is very mediocre in the hard subjects. Many, many schools are much better in the majors that require actual brain power. [/quote]

According to this ranking, Harvard ranks #1 in Math, Chemistry, Biology, #5 in physics, and #4 in Engineering in the world. It is mostly based on research and publication. Harvard has a new science and engineering complex that cost $1 billion to build.[/quote]

That #4 in Engineering in the world is a complete joke. [/quote]
