Harvard despite its reputation is not an especially welcoming destination for engineering or science majors. Harvard certainly does NOT have any “right of first refusal” on candidates strong in those fields.

If so, that makes Harvard’s accomplishments in the sciences all the more impressive – such as it producing more NSF Graduate Research Fellowship winners than MIT, considerably more than Stanford, and nearly twice as many as Princeton.
