<p>Wow this is because of that SI article for sure. This is lame, but in the eyes of the general public, caltech is just a bunch of nerdy losers who suck at sports. No one really looks up to caltech like they do for harvard and yale, they look down on the loser asian kids they can beat up. I cant think of a single person who graduated from caltech who is really important figure. (im sure there are people like that though). oh well the stereotype is furthered and humiliated once again.</p>
<p>(seriously, i cant. i mean harvard has had a ton of presidents etc. princeton has a bunch of important people, yale has had the last 3 us presidents. stanford has condi rice and grover cleveland, but i cant think of a single important person who graduated from caltech-help me!)</p>
