15 Superlative Seniors from the Class of 2025

By FM Staff
FM profiled 15 graduating seniors, each assigned to a different superlative categories, just like your old high school yearbook. Read on to see how these seniors both fit and transcend their superlative and to learn about all the cool things they’ve gotten up to — one senior studied abroad in Samoa, another is writing her thesis about sitting vs. squatting toilets, and one is a mathemetician-lyricist-saxophonist-stage-director. Just your average Harvard kids. Sort of.
