<p>I guess it’s a little hard predicting the future of any student.</p>
<p>I would think that a student who comes into Mudd with a 4.0 gpa, many college classes including upper division courses, and having never been challenged before but is looking for a challenge, might be able to work hard and come out of Mudd with an above 3.7 GPA.</p>
<p>It seems that Mudd wants to come alongside its students and help them succeed. Would you say this is true, Miru? At least that is the impression they gave. Ultimately, though, it is up to the student him/herself to be motivated enough to do what it takes if one has a goal of getting a PhD.</p>
<p>It seems that schools like MIT, Caltech, Ivies, definitely have a bigger name recognition and thus, might open more doors. OTOH, for those in the know at grad schools with programs in STEM fields, they are most definitely aware of the caliber of student at Mudd and the programs it offers.</p>
<p>It seems it’s split as to whether Mudd grads go onto grad school or straight into the work force.</p>
