[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia Tech only has about 3.2% of undergraduates getting degrees in Mathematics and Statistics and Physical Sciences. That is extremely low for any school presenting itself as an-across-the-board STEM school. Comparable numbers are 26% at Caltech, 20% at Harvard, 17% at MIT, 14.5% at UCSB, 10.5% at Stanford, 10% at UCLA, 9% at Princeton, 8% at Berkeley, 7.9% at UCSD, etc. (Even UVA is higher at 4% and W&M is 8.5%).[/quote] Great point, I never realized that. That is very surprising. The main reason ours did not apply in state is they already had UVA as a backup and based on the course curricula in the calculus and physics and chem classes, the depth and breadth was not there at VT compared to UVA. Friends of a stem professor there, and they said it was because the faculty could not teach at the same pace as at Georgia Tech or Berkeley (where they did post docs/lecturer jobs). It was eye opening. [/quote]
