<p>I do feel the core can be revised to give more flexibility and to include more bio and less physics and math. A bio major spends five terms of studying math and physics, but physics majors spend one term on bio. Lack of bio background can be a problem for physicists down the road. Too much hard core math and physics for bio majors can be a burden, especially for premeds. In this sense the effort to revise and improve the core is a very good move, but unfortunately not for the class of 2015 and current students. </p>
<p>Also, caltech has been historically known for basic sciences than for applied sciences and engineering. The graduate programs of physics, chemistry and biology have been ranked at the top or very near the top for a very long time. Engineering may be the forte of mit and stanford, but caltech and princeton are strong in basic sciences.</p>
<p>By the way, Fernando Torres is way overrated and is in fact an idiot. I never liked this Hispanic Liverpool striker who consistently disappointed the team he plays for. Look how low Liverpool slipped in EPL ranking this year. fernandotorres was not even in the lineup for Spain in the world cup because of his inconsistency and poor play. Now that the equally sorry Chelsea overpaid to acquire fernandotorres, that is, when a sorry player merges with a sorry team, the results will be sorrier. and the poster fernandotorress99 seems equally ignorant.</p>
