one has to endure the core curriculum which is heavily laden with humanities - sociology, philosophy, literature, and other BS subjects…

I am thinking that at MIT and Caltech you can BS the humanities requirement is minimal, and even then you can BS your way out of it by taking classes like history of science.

I’m no expert on theoretical physics, but I don’t think that BSing the stuff that you aren’t interested in will take you very far…
