Many students enter Harvard expressing an interest in concentrating in science—Harvard news releases from the past few years state that just under half of matriculating students are prospective life science, physical science, mathematics, engineering, or computer science concentrators. Meanwhile, a tabulation of data in this year’s Handbook for Students shows that just over a quarter of students with...
