<p>I’m prolly going to grad school in economics, and I know that I will have a far better shot at the top jobs and Ph.D. programs in the field (after research, publications, one-on-one work with professors) than if I had gone to Stanford or Harvard, where I was also admitted.</p>
<p>Caltech’s econ professors are absolutely top-notch (Colin Camerer, Matt Jackson, Preston McAfee, John Ledyard, are all lumniaries in their respective fields) and, unlike other places, you can actually have a claim on their attention and time. And that’s just one HSS field that I know best!</p>
<p>Caltech’s education isn’t just better in math and science, it’s better all around, because everything is done so seriously and rigorously from the beginning. There are no flaky undergraduate courses which waste time and have ten minutes worth of content, which other top schools have quite a bit of.</p>
<p>If you want to push your mind seriously, come to Caltech.</p>
