As a self-proclaimed New Jersey native, do you have enough "testosterone" to deliver...
...even the excruciating nights before a problem set is due. I value assignments that challenge me, a variety of extracurriculars, and caring professors, because to my friends in India these are luxuries. I almost feel that I push myself at Harvard as much as I do because I owe it to my friends in the Indian education system to make the most of my Harvard experience...
