SDN, harvard brochure/website

What impressed you positively?

students a lot friendlier, nicer, less intense/competitive than i thought. awesome resources for students - computing services, dorms, support network, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

stuffiness

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

none

What are your general comments?

lot of opportunity to explore campus, i really liked the introductory comments by the MD who came to talk to us - he was congenial, funny, and focused on primary care, not what i expected from harvard. md/phd who interviewed me later was more focused on hardcore research, and more enamored with reputation, but he had a point - the school is filled with very smart, and very ambitious people.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
