<p>“Actually, Caltech is consistently around 50% and I believe has not been #2 in the last 10 or 20 years (if they ever were).”
First:
In the 1999-2001 poll, Caltech had a higher % go on to get PhDs.
Mudd wasn’t too far behind (#2) as it had more in “physical sciences” and “chemistry”.

<p>Second:
This discussion is about Mudd and Berkeley. It is a bit distracting if you have to jump on every little thing that mentions Caltech…even if it isn’t necessarily an insult to Caltech. Can’t you just live with the fact that they are not too terribly different in their qualities?</p>
