Colleges for the INTX Science/Math Nerd

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>The title pretty much says it all. I’m an INTX (more INTP than INTJ) science/math nerd. I’m interested in pure science, not engineering. Which colleges would be good matches for people like me? I guess some of the obvious ones would be MIT, CalTech, Harvey Mudd, and Carnegie Mellon. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!</p>

<p>IMO, CalTech might be a better ‘fit’ for you than MIT - based on your preference for ‘pure science’. MIT has always struck me as more of a practical tech school, but that might just be me. I feel that the heavy graduate-student presence at CalTech might lend to more appropriate opportunities for research.</p>

<p>If you’re a guy though, beware the notorious 70/30 ratio…</p>

<p>And, though this goes for ANY tech school (but moreso - so I hear - at CalTech), beware the grade deflation.</p>

<p>…UChicago possibly? My cousin studied physics there.</p>

<p>You have the same personality type as my dad by the way. I’m an INFJ.</p>

<p>UChicago strikes me as a social studies/writing college.</p>

<p>I’m a girl, by the way.</p>
