No one else has mentioned this but be careful about visa restrictions if you're planning on travelling to the US. ICE has announced that they will not be allowing international students into the US unless they have an I20 (associated with student visa) that specifically states the student will be taking in-person courses. Even if borders open up unless ICE changes this policy unfortunately you won't be allowed to study in the states despite enrolled at a US institution. Hopefully the Harvard-MIT lawsuit reverses the changes, but right now it looks like you won't be able to study on campus at any point in the fall and maybe even spring

You are never to old to start studying, but it is a bit easier doing it directly after school as you are already in that mindset.

YES VEE! omg, so you're going to harvard! this is definitely what I wanted. I was so split when you first came out with this dilemma and I was going back and forth with what I think you should do but then I finally settled on going ahead and doing it. The fact that you go into harvard by itself is an accomplishment but your dream was to attend Harvard. Many other people dream that, many other people work hard for it, and you got it so I think you should absolutely take it up. Obviously it's not going to be in person (as of now) but who knows things could change, and even if they don't, you can always do another masters in person somewhere else after the pandemic, and it's sort of the best of both worlds. You get your Harvard degree with distinction and the in-person American university experience you always wanted. Anyway I could say a ton more but I'm so happy that you're happy that you've arrived at this decision. I don't know why I became so personally involved (maybe it's because I'm a black girl with big dreams and living vicariously through you) but congrats!
