<p>I came to Harvard with thoughts of being premed, and a big interest in kind of Steven Pinker-style thinking about the brain + evolution. I took a couple great classes in the evolutionary psychology field (particularly Hauser + Wrangham’s Sci-B29), and ended up as a Human Evolutionary Biology concentrator (most places call this Biological Anthropology).</p>
<p>I got a bit bored with the concentration towards the end - it’s an awesome field, but a relatively small department @ Harvard, and I didn’t have the inclination to dig in and do research.</p>
<p>I started taking some computer science classes towards the end of my time @ Harvard, and, in retrospect, would have liked to do more of that (maybe a CS concentration with an HEB secondary, instead of the other way around). That said, I wasn’t very interested in the theoretical CS classes required of CS concentrators (which end up being very similar to pure math).</p>
