Why is Caltech's graduation rate so low?

Caltech is really hard. And everyone here is required to take 5 terms of math and physics courses, regardless of major. At MIT, they take a freshman year core of math and science regardless of major. At an Ivy, you can switch to just about every joke major you can think of if you can’t hack science or engineering.

Caltech can provide you with a very rigorous education, but at a price; it’s really freakin’ hard.
