math and science

I can imagine this fully, as you can see in my story about one Caltech alumnus, though I do have to say that it’s unusual, because there are tons of great schools for math and science that could be better fits for people like this (and, mind you, with just as prestigious departments). One could try MIT, Stanford, for engineering and math UMichigan, for pure sciences certain Ivies, for pure math UChicago certainly…

<p>yea some of those schools definitely have more prestige
but i know a couple people who went to caltech because they didn’t get into mit
(i’m on the east coast so mit is “big” here)</p>
