not really warren. I was watching some lectures by kip thorne and wow. College teachers are actually easy, im not saying the material is, but they are leneant. for example, if kip teaches something that some of the other students know alraedy he says get the hell out of here, you dont need to waste your time here. hehe, and you dont even have to do homework to pass, just take the final exam he recommends that you do the homework though. LOL, i think they are much much much nicer then college teachers.
Blender- if you brother didnt get into MIT he wasnt getting into CalTech, Caltech accepts 11% of its applicants, MIT accepts 17%. Also very few people apply for caltech because they know they are not getting in. Caltech is MUCH MUCH harder to get into then MIT so hush hush.
Moose- those stats that warren posted are for Technology, not for Physics. Im not majoring in anything tech related. Im majoring in Physics and Mathematics(maybe Aerospace or Robotics(ok its tech related buy i AM my schools robotics team captain)) not to mention Caltech has THE BEST Campus. IT IS SOOOOO BEATIFUL over there.
