[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I take it that MIT &gt; Cal Tech?  Why??  Does MIT offer more popular majors, better research opportunities, greater inter-disciplinary approach?  What is the allure? I'd rather take Pasadena weather than Cambridge in the winter!  [/quote]

MIT does a very good job in caring for their undergrad students than Caltech. The level of support and resources that MIT students have access to, and by the openness and communications from MIT administration and president’s office. During the pandemic, they communicated with students and parents all the way through those semesters. From what I saw on parents page, Caltech didn’t handle it well. The lack of organization and communication caused a lot of frustration. For such a small school with such a large endowment, I think Caltech has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to how they treat their undergraduate students. I don’t know why administration makes it so hard for undergrads and why communication is lacking. 
Just think about it - more than half of students accepted to Caltech choose to attend other schools.[/quote]

Majority kids who get into MIT also get into Caltech, but not the other way. My DD graduated from FCPS school (now in UMD as she got a full ride) had 4 kids her year who got into MIT and Caltech. They all chose MIT over Caltech. MIT is broadly considered the premiere institution worldwide for math and engineering. Being a large school, offers a diverse student body that can support a variety of activities, clubs, and parties. MIT has a broader range of non-STEM programs.[/quote]
