Does Caltech have any other peers that may come out to 10%? Or 9? Or 8%? In 2010, Columbia had 14, Stamford 8, and HYP about 7 each, but I’m not sure if those are considered peers.



Normally, when people refer to Caltech’s peers, they are referring to HYP and MIT. The only other high level techy schools I can think of that people could be referring to are Harvey Mudd and Olin. I have no idea what Harvey Mudd’s demographics are, and Olin is kind of an unusual school so I don’t think it’s really comparable.
