Hello everyone,
I am lucky enough to be admitted to Harvard and MIT chemistry program. Now I am thinking about which program I am going to join. My research interests lie in materials science and inorganic chemistry. Yes, I will visit them both in March, but I feel that I should get some ideas before that.
My question is mainly about:
What's the reputation of Harvard and MIT in your eyes? (I am an international student, so I do not have any ideas of the characteristics of these two programs besides the fact that both of them are top programs.)
What do you see as pros and cons of the program?
(I am willing to go to academia as my career, so do you have any ideas of the academic atmosphere of these two programs?)
Please feel free to talk about your opinions. It would be great if we can have current Harvard and MIT grad students on this topic as well.
