Apparently, someone figured out that sitting through a 700-person Ec 10 lecture didn’t cut it for personal attention, so this year’s course catalogue devotes 26 pages to 130 frosh-only classes, including 56 brand new ones. Considered a must-have by many eager first-years, the most popular of these seminars, such as Professor David H. Hubel’s “The Neurophysiology of Visual Perception,” can draw over 100 applications for one of their coveted spots. But fear not, young Skywalker. Most of the others don?...

You will foster a great relationship with your advisor, who is more than eager to talk with you at any time about your plan of study. And don’t sweat the plan of study: the concentration...
...Shelving early admission is a bold move for Harvard. Students eager to gain admission to college could potentially apply early to other leading schools instead of waiting for Harvard’s later, unitary deadline. If other top colleges don’t follow Harvard’s lead, some high school seniors may opt for earlier notification elsewhere over a Crimson diploma...
