While we endorse many of the reforms suggested by the Harvard College Curricular Review (HCCR), this is not one of them. Advocates of the delay argue that it will give students more time to explore their options before committing to a concentration. But the advantage of taking four extra courses seems dubious. Rather then encourage students to invest more time or thought into their decision, the delayed choice deadline will likely only delay the time...
