<p>Thanks to all who responded so far!</p>
<p>@aleaiactaest Yep, I really like to do anything related to science that might correlate to real-life use. My Intel project was pretty much a humanitarian project converted to compete at the fair. Stanford looks to be good, but it’s restrictive as well, so I can only pick one. I might apply there on regular admission perhaps. </p>
<p>@BiologyMaster64 You only need 2 subject tests. I recall at some point earlier Harvard required 3, but now both Princeton and Harvard require only 2, and if you want to apply for engineering, you need to take Math 2, or Math 1, as Cantiger said. I don’t plan on applying to engineering, I really want to go for a Bachelor in Arts and Sciences, and then pursue med school afterwards. </p>
<p>@Cantiger Thank you for your views! I am not going into engineering, I am planning on going into a more general Bachelor of Arts and Sciences type curriculum. Both colleges are well-known for a well-rounded liberal arts education. Harvard however, has better medical schools, and thus I might have a better chance to intern or work as some kind of assistant while over there. Both colleges however, I picked because of the potential connections I can make. I know that the best students in the nation get in these schools, and thus they can only help make me a better person in what I want to do. In a more technical aspect, Princeton in particular, is hugely undergraduate focused, with lots of resources at the disposal of undergrads, which other colleges cannot match. Harvard has lots of resources as well, although not focused on undergrads as Princeton. Both colleges will have a level of opportunity and resources, and student body talent that the majority of other colleges will never match. Want to learn about water sustainability? One of the world’s best professors conducting research on water pollution might be just two buildings away in the campus of Princeton or Harvard. Lots of the stuff I said might sound really generic, but I really do believe in it. </p>
<p>Tldr : My state school will never be able to match the amount of high-end connections I might be able to make in a college like Harvard or Princeton, nor have as much opportunities available to undergrads as them.</p>
