Duke really doesn’t deserve to be on that list. I’ve met so many rich idiot bros that went there, coasting on the coattails of their parents. Duke deserves to be dropped for CalTech or Hopkins.[/quote]

Neither Caltech nor MIT really belong on a list like this.  They're two of the four best schools in the country but they have a very different type of prestige when compared to the more normal fancy colleges.[/quote]
"Very different type of prestige". Can you elaborate? It is a STEM prestige, no doubt. In your mind, prestige is foremost a humanities-based honorific?[/quote]

At the end of the day, Caltech is just a trade school.  It's the best trade school in the world (and has the smartest student body of any school in the US), but it's still a trade school.[/quote]

It doesn't belong with MIT.  It's more like Olin, a notch above Cal State SLO, California Maritime... [/quote]

You're an idiot.[/quote]

+1000, assuming posters are real they are idiots.  [b]Also you can major in History, Philosophy or PoliSci or other humanities or social sciences at Caltech[/b].  "Trade School"?  Moron.  Yeah at the end of the program the tools are yours to keep!

If their website says so, but in reality you don't go there to major in history, philosophy or polisci.  I don't believe it's done, regardless of what their website might say.  It shows you really don't know this school.  [/quote]

What it shows is that you are an idiot who denies the evidence when it is presented directly to your face.[/quote]
