To the poster enquiring about Harvard: Thank you! I have a Triple major in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and an MA in Linguistics - both from outside the US. I have 1.5 years of research experience and have worked closely with some people in my sub-field who are quite well-known and revered for their work globally, and they eventually wrote my letters. Plus a very snug fit with the research interests of the Department - which I think plays a huge role. All the best for your endeavours! Which school are you headed to?
