[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a normal smart kid fit in and be happy there? High score and GPA from rigorous school. LOVES school and learning. Happy when doing homework and studying for tests but not a nerd. Looks and acts nothing like those guys in the Big Bang theory - it’s actually a pretty fashionable and popular girl but just happens to really love science [/quote] What do you mean by a "normal" kid? The Caltech undergrad population skews heavily towards students interested in research and pursuing PhDs. It's very small and very intense, even for the outstanding students they admit. Their real strength is in the physical sciences, moreso than CS or engineering (which are obviously still very strong but consider carefully if that's what your student is interested in). [/quote]
