<p>My son is a math concentrator. As a freshman he took Math 55a & b (very challenging!) and has taken three math courses this year as a sophomore. He has had some amazing professors as well as some not so interesting. Still, he is excited by his future studies in math at Harvard. Before college, he was torn between UChicago and Harvard, but ended up opting for Harvard as the financial aid package was much more attractive. He is very glad now that he chose Harvard. </p>
<p>I will say that he works very hard. However, he has managed to have a social life and take part in extracurricular activities. My S does not have a singular devotion to math and even toyed with the idea of a double concentration–math and linguistics–before deciding to concentrate solely in math. However, he continues to take linguistics courses.</p>
