<p>Thanks for the replies NotQuiteOld and Ben. Ben, do you know the average GPAs at Caltech and how many people go on to earn PhD’s?</p>
<p>And, hopefully it wont come to it, but say I simply do not like the Caltech atmosphere yet do considerably well (Also, how does transfer work on a pass/fail record?). Would I be able to transfer out to one of the top schools? Do you know of anyone who has managed this?</p>
<p>I guess this is extremely important for me to know as I’ve read the posts by Serj T, who dropped out of Caltech and ended up going to UConn. I have a few top institutions to pick from now, so I dont want to make a mistake where I would end up at a state school.</p>
