...volume of visa applications—could put some seniors’ and recent graduates’ jobs in jeopardy.And with immigration reform efforts stalled on Capitol Hill, relief may be a long time coming.Some international students in the Class of 2006 were unable to apply for the H-1B visas required to seek employment in the United States because they did not receive the necessary proof of graduation until after the visa quota was filled.Previously, the annual quota had not filled up until long after Harvard’s June Commencement ceremonies—students in the class...
...that you’ll actually find in the real world—not just in a lab or a theorist’s head. Because of the courses’ interdisciplinary nature, they are taught by a group of fully-tenured faculty members (five for 1a, four for 1b) who, despite all their prestige, are actually interested in teaching and talking to students. The extensive teaching staff for both classes produced a balanced compromise between labs, problem sets, and midterms. Yes, there are two midterms in each class, but they’re nothing to cry about.

They throw “Reasoning” into the title to make the requirement sound less daunting...
...want to keep out. We insist that our concerns are limited to illegal immigration, and that we have no problem with legal immigrants. But then there are those individuals - including members of Congress - who call for a moratorium on legal immigration, or try to cut back on H-1B visas for high-skilled immigrants from countries such as China or India, or wring their hands over studies that predict that 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants, once legalized, could bring in tens of millions of family members legally over the next 20 years. So what? As long...
