[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, OP needs to change the title to, “Schools that rejected both me AND my kids...”[/quote]
Yeah I'm sure that's why no one has posted[b] MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Cal Tech etc[/b]. as overrated, because they've accepted all the kids of every poster here.

Or perhaps you saw a school you are associated as correctly being called overrated.[/quote]

Who thinks of Cal Tech as on par as MIT, let alone Harvard? Other than the occasional booster, people correctly rate Cal Tech and Berkeley a notch or two below the top schools. That's why those two schools are not called overrated.[/quote]

+1000

CalTech is not at MIT level. It’s a smaller and a very specialized school compared to MIT. It’s pretty much a hi-tech vocational college compared to MIT, Harvard, Yale...[/quote]
Cal Tech has less 1000 students total. The SAT distribution is higher than Harvard. It doesn't have legacy admissions nor affirmative action. It has 79 Nobel laureates in faculty or alumni.

Cal Tech > Harvard in terms of academic rigor and raw student intellect. However Harvard has other positives. [/quote]
