<p>Re: MIT and well roundedness</p>
<p>MIT does have a rather extensive set of General Institute Requirements (approximately 25% math and science and another 25% humanities and social studies) to ensure that students have some academic well roundedness.</p>
<p>However, “socioacademically”, fewer than 20% of undergraduates major in non-STEM majors, even though they are readily available and (in some cases) well respected.</p>
