Generally science departments are less "inbred" than engineering departments. Science PhD applicants are generally encouraged to go elsewhere for their PhDs. Still, several of the science PhD programs (biology, brain & cog sci, physics) will accept MIT undergrads, even though they will counsel them to go elsewhere.

ChemE is the only engineering department, I think, which discourages inbreeding.
