CalTech for a kid interested in bio/neuroscience/linguistics?

Caltech is fairly strong in biology and neuroscience, but humanities really isn’t a focus here. Even the economics and business classes require math that isn’t required in the MBA courses taught by the same professor.

I’ve seen biology professors put math type questions on problem sets for some reason as well, just to not feel left out I guess. If your son dislikes math then this school is probably not the right place for him. Like dLo said, 5 courses of math is required, and BC Calc is expected of incoming students.
