Scoped!: Justin J. Moore '15

Why you switched allegiances: Harvard’s opportunities, including working for a consulting startup in Boston, and enjoying a real city. And the poopetrator scandal, obviously. That’s one of the reasons why I got out.
By Kathryn J. Gundersen

House: Leverett

Concentration: Psychology, with a secondary in economics.

Hometown: I grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but my family recently moved to Austin, Texas.

Why you switched allegiances: Harvard’s opportunities, including working for a consulting startup in Boston, and enjoying a real city. And the poopetrator scandal, obviously. That’s one of the reasons why I got out.

Ideal Date: Nice, candlelit, romantic dinner at an Italian restaurant.

What you look for in a girl/guy: Easy to talk to, humor, open-mindedness.

Where to find you on a Saturday night: With friends in Boston, or maybe somewhere at a party at Harvard.

Your best pickup line: Girl you must be a parking ticket, cause you’ve got fine written all over you! I don’t think it’s ever worked, but it’s funny.

Best or worst lie you’ve ever told: After I transferred to Harvard, I told someone I was a Yale student.

Something you’ve always wanted to tell someone: You’re better than you think.

Favorite childhood activity: Definitely reading. I know it’s something everyone in Harvard would say, but hands down.

Sexiest physical trait: My eyes… I’ll just say my eyes.

Best part about Harvard: The people, obviously it’s the people! Just the diversity of the backgrounds and skills and talents. You can meet anyone and everyone here. I have to say, one of the misconceptions about Harvard at Yale is that everyone is so hard to talk to. But Harvard students are really great, and they know how to have fun.

Worst part about Harvard: I guess the whole lunch situation, going back to the houses for lunch. And Fly-By, Fly-By sucks. I hate Fly-By.

Describe yourself in three words: Oh gosh, college admissions interview? Um… dynamic, creative, curious.

In 15 minutes you are: Super busy or procrastinating.

In 15 years you are: In fifteen years, I’ll be… Oh my God, I’ll be 36. Maybe I’ll be making the transition from industry to public policy, I think. Hopefully I’m definitely switching up careers a little bit.
