In the end, Pooja Chandrashekar had to narrow down her choices. The wunderkind senior at the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology got into 14 schools — including all eight Ivies — and was deciding between Stanford and Harvard. And on Friday she made her decision: Chandrashekar is bound for Cambridge, Mass. “After much deliberation, I’ve finally committed to Harvard,” Chandrashekar said. “I loved the intellectual diversity, liberal arts and technical breadth, and opportunities at both Harvard and Stanford. Ultimately, when May 1 rolled around I had to make a decision, and I just went with my gut since I really couldn’t have gone wrong picking either school.”
