Just the fact that Caltech is so small and affords so many opportunities to its students so readily, especially research, sounds wonderful. I’ll definitely visit both, but I’m leaning heavily Caltech. The house system also sounds amazing, and the pranking and elaborate party sets…just so spirited/colorful. And a one sentence honor code speaks volumes. Two more years of high school…

I’m leaning more and more toward chemistry over physics, and more theoretical than chemE or something like that, which is another point in Caltech’s favor over Stanford or MIT, since I’ve heard over and over that Caltech has a more theoretical focus than the others.
