<p>Note to any potential Caltech frosh:
- Most people here do not approve of comparing scores. You’re here to learn and stretch yourself, not to compete…
- Most likely there are people here that scored much higher than you anyway. Although Neapol1s could have gone about it in a nicer way, he made a point that you are going to realize if you come here–you could be the smartest kid in your school, or your district, or your state, or whatever. Caltech is the home of some of the smartest people in the WORLD. You will almost definitely not be the smartest person here.</p>
<p>Edit: I should note that I find this to be a greatly positive thing. One of the things I enjoy most about Caltech is that there are smarter people than me–people who can stretch me and help me grow.</p>
