@neoking to me, the Ivies are liberal arts colleges, and it sounds like @asdkhl should be at a research college based on their interests at the moment. To @asdkhl , if you’re not entirely sure, but you’re starting in the STEM direction to see what you like, that’s totally fine! There’s zero shame in switching your major however many times you must until you find a program you love. But I would personally choose a school that afforded me more backup options just in case I hated my major. If I were you, I’d at least look into other schools that are more research-based because of your area of study. Harvard is an other-worldly institution, but it’s not the right place for everyone. If you tour it, find programs you want to be in, and get in, then more power to you. But don’t force yourself to love it because it’s Harvard.
