Also, as an aside…note that Harvard, as mentioned before, is actually among the more flexible schools. It expects a more rigorous schedule than normal, but is more flexible in how you achieve the “core”. For example, currently its math “requirement” can be fullfilled by a calculus based physics series as explained on their website. In that sense, I think they are kind of helping the problem while also bending the rules to accommodate its own students because they are among the very few privates,especially among top privates, that dramatically changed its undergraduate life and physical science curriculum over the past decade. Some of their pre-med heavy classes and the way they are done would not be recognized as the traditional general chemistry/inorganic by most schools. In lieu of biochemistry, I am sure they are pulling something slick by ultimately claiming that their life sciences ochem 2 sequence should stand in for it (which by technicality could be true though it is more of a bio-organic course than the standard and boring metabolic/memorization oriented biochemistry 1 courses at most schools).
