Date: July 19th, 2016 5:00 PM Author: Aromatic territorial area windowlicker Caltech is selective but not elite.
Too weird and nerdy. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:01 PM Author: zippy appetizing sound barrier corn cake it's the most selective, numbers wise
also most difficult core curriculum |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:06 PM Author: Aromatic territorial area windowlicker But they have no power, prestige, or money.
They're bitches to the government, defense contractors, and schools. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:09 PM Author: zippy appetizing sound barrier corn cake Lots of rich kids go there....like parents with net worth 8 figures....
Also they are the academic types. Lots go onto PhDs and do research or academia, etc. They don't care about power/prestige/money (but besides that, many are born into it anyway). |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:11 PM Author: razzle-dazzle locale police squad Interesting, this is the first I've heard of Caltech being a hotbed of multimillionaire trust fund kids (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3292051&forum_id=2#30971692) |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:13 PM Author: zippy appetizing sound barrier corn cake I just know a lot of them personally since I grew up in Cali....
They don't act like it, but a lot of them are rich kids. There's also a decent number of professors' kids though (so not rich but academic types). |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:16 PM Author: Aromatic territorial area windowlicker That's fine. But the consequence is that the school punches below its weight. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3292051&forum_id=2#30971738) |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:24 PM Author: razzle-dazzle locale police squad The small size of the school also contributes to that. Most people have never met a Caltech grad, especially outside CA, because there just aren't that many. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3292051&forum_id=2#30971791) |

Date: July 19th, 2016 5:07 PM Author: zippy appetizing sound barrier corn cake Yeah my friend went to Caltech...was perfect score 1600, 5s in 15 AP classes...finished with a MATH degree, but basically burned him out...I think he graduated with a 3.3, despite being a genius (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3292051&forum_id=2#30971667) |

It sounds crazy
I would have failed out first semester LMAO
Also they have like hard ass physics are a core curriculum - even for bio majors. People come in having taken like all of calc/dif eq/linear algebra...so you're basically a retard if you don't know all of that |

Date: July 19th, 2016 5:54 PM Author: alcoholic crackhouse death wish Individual problem sets that took 20 or 30 hours each, 6 or 7 classes per trimester, professors (esp in math) who could not teach. I took Calc bc in high school and got a 5, took differential equations in high school. When I got to Caltech I couldn't place out of anything, and in fact I nearly failed Math 1a.
Without sounding too sexist, I think it has gotten easier since I left and they made it a priority to admit women.
I had two friends attempt suicide my sophomore year. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:57 PM Author: zippy appetizing sound barrier corn cake sounds about right. my friend from high school dropped out of caltech..then fucked around for 2 years (got into drugs and shit, was probably depressed) before going to an average state school...took her awhile to get her life back on track.
my friends who finished there were all like perfect scores in everything...and they generally had shit GPAs except for the super, duper geniuses (who ended up getting PhDs at Stanford) |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:17 PM Author: Maroon Cuckoldry A high school friend started there after first year classes switched to P/F. They forced everyone to do assignments in groups.
He was genuinely freaked out by the terrible health of the juniors and seniors |
|
Date: July 19th, 2016 5:43 PM Author: zippy appetizing sound barrier corn cake Decent number of depressed, genius types go there
Some physics olympiad winner (basically international physics competition winner) went there and committed suicide while my friend was there....

Nowadays when I see, e.g., LSE or Columbia on someone's LinkedIn, I just assume it's some cash-cow scam program. |

http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/all-bachelors?page=71
Above poster is probably right that these schools aren't 'elite', but I'd argue these are some of the last universities that don't rubber stamp degrees and allow people to graduate with SJW "studies" degrees. |

Date: July 20th, 2016 7:57 PM Author: Godawful Lettuce That's the premise of this thread, the schools being advocated as elite are all on the Payscale 100 list from my quick scan. See all the academies in the top 10, the school's of mines, etc.
Elite schools are festering SJW holes and that's reflected by the low market value of their graduates. |
