does harvard have a computional biology/bioinformatics major for undergrad?

does harvard have a computional biology/bioinformatics major for undergrad?
I think that's a part of Harvard University, not Harvard College. And undergrads go to Harvard College.

haha thank you!

because there are people with genius that just don’t come across the right results in a certain amount of time
for example, andrew wiles didn’t win a fields medal because his proof of fermat’s last theorem wasn’t published quick enough

I’m sure they exist, but you really shouldn’t be sitting in the edge of your seat thinking that you’ll get a likely.

Are you saying you have graduate-level proficiency

Well the nuclear reactor thing was more so to avoid setting a precedent
They didnt want people attempting to build nuclear reactors for a guaranteed acceptance and killing millions in the process lol
runic sleet
Well then you should get in damn near everywhere
blazing trellis
Are you saying you have graduate-level proficiency
yh in most fileds it ain't that hard, even in my work i am working with post docs and profs and know about as much as them
i think the problem is an average AO cant tell diff between great research and normal research and not all schools do faculty reviews
runic sleet
I guess graduate-level isn’t specific since there’s a big difference between first graduate-level class and thesis level.
bronze spire
U also got into berkeley eecs lol
runic sleet
Yeah you’re just another bozo who did research
blazing trellis
some schools do check with faculty like caltech or harvard
runic sleet
Well I’m sure the math profs will love you wherever you go
blazing trellis
in common app? thats a bad move
runic sleet
I doubt many AOs will pick up on how impressive what you did is
blazing trellis
in common app? thats a bad move
AOs dont click links
runic sleet
“cited in graduate mathematics textbook” is something i’d read as “found small error in book and corrected it in email to publisher”
blazing trellis
AOs dont click links
schools that allow research supplements you can send idt you cn link to others
bronze spire
U might get AO ones in march
U might get these and have to explain ur research
runic sleet
yes but i’m saying AOs might read it that way
so what are you asking?
you’re an international, that’s why you aren’t getting availability based interviews. the ones that are selective are also damn hard to get. plus if they’re sure they’re letting you in, there’s no need to interview you. there are three possibilities.
your chances are low either way

Nobody knows anything abt the admissions process
Everything you have seen in this thread is an assumption based on a small sample of evidence

1 more question
could you get likely if you were waitlisted for early?
fast isle

pearl briar
no
fast isle

in theory probably
in practice
no
like if you won a nobel prize in the following months
you'd probably get one

I think you would
pearl briar
just regular acceptance if i had to guess?

i had a LOR and a cert for my 2 research ecs
both original where i was conducting
humble stirrup

i don’t think adding a connect to harvard legitimizes anything
unless it was direct
I’m 2x published by one of their facilities
still got deferred
earnest cloud

earnest cloud
Oh yea i agree 100000%
