[quote=Anonymous]I visited CalTech last year on a tour for educators and was mostly turned off. For the right kid, it seems like it would be great fit, but for the large majority, it seems like they'd hate it. The dean of admissions, who was lovely, said students spend 90% of their time on something academic and also said they take pride in breaking good students and building them back into great scientists. Also, I toured a few labs and at least the ones we saw did not seem any more equipped than many of our local high schools. I think the advantage is the brain power and mentorship, but again, is that the right fit for most? Probably not. [/quote]
