Can someone explain why 2/3 of those being accepted winding up not choose to enroll?



What rtkysg said (though I personally don’t think there’s too much hardship at Caltech, but many/most/nearly all people do).

Also, Caltech is very specialized, and if people aren’t pretty sure they want math/science/engineering, they should definitely choose MIT (or Harvard…I guess).



nash_nowitzki:

Caltech is the best math-science school in U.S

One of the best at least, but there are several other equally-valid choices depending on specific personality/interests.
