Harvard: a male dominated school?

Hey,

I’m a junior here and I don’t think think it’s true, though I am male and thus perhaps not qualified to speak for a girl’s perspective. Girls outnumber guys at the university, and there are an incredible number of opportunities for women. For example, Harvard’s Women in Business is an amazing organization for the advancement of (you guessed it) women in business, boasting a huge membership and more power than I’ve seen in many undergrad organizations.

Of course, like many colleges, Harvard has its all-male organizations, but these are joined by all-female counterparts (though many all-female groups are younger and as a result less “institutionalized”). All in all, I don’t think that is an issue you need to worry about.

Study hard, find something you love and do it well, and find contentment in simply living the best life you can. You’ll find that the last bit there will always sustain you whether or not you end up here. Good luck!
