<p>Dwight- I just wanted to add a comment about why the science kids all are looking at those same courses. They pretty much have to. An number of years ago, Harvard created a new structure to it’s life sciences curriculum bring it “into the 21st century”. It was instated either last year or the year before, but basically any student interested in any of the 9 life science concentrations has to take LS1a (I think there were 480 freshman in this class last year - so pretty much 1 in 3 take it). Pretty much every one of those concentrations also requires some at Harvard math. So when you combine that with the language requirement and maybe a fall expo 20 assignment, there goes any creativity of a fall freshman science student. D tested out of the language (yeah!) and got a spring Expo 20. For D, spring is pretty much a done deal with the continued math and PS1 requirements (for her to consider neuroscience), expo 20 and the life science required LS1b. Her only really “creative” elective has to be this fall or she has to opt into 5 classes next spring.</p>
