Academic culture
Discussion-based seminars supplement large lectures. Grade compression makes the GPA itself less differentiating; relationships with faculty and research opportunities matter more. The unwritten rule: pick hard professors who'll write strong letters.

Fennie's Daily Plans help with the heavy reading loads typical of Harvard humanities and social-science courses, plus problem-set support for the math and CS curriculum.
FAQ
Is grade inflation a real thing here?
Yes — median grade is around A-. The implication: relationships with faculty matter more than 0.1 GPA differences.
How competitive are research opportunities?
Available but require initiative. Most undergrads who get research started by reaching out sophomore year, not by waiting.
