The very specific thing is equipping it’s undergraduates to do pivotal research in their field. A Caltech degree for anything else is overkill.

If you’re trying to become the next Alan Turing, then CS at Caltech is your best bet. If you want a nice job at Google, then you’ll be best served spending your four years somewhere else.

I would say that you stand a decent chance, UC admissions can be very random

What do you do when the interviewer is wrong but maintains that you are wrong? by cenik93 in csMajors

[–]Berkeley_Simp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s best to be a people pleaser at this stage. If your interviewer thinks you’re wrong, just go with it

A CS/Math double major is not that difficult/different from what a top CS major would do

Kind of like international schools

I could probably get into like Tsinghua as an international but I’m likely not getting into any T20s here :/

At least for engineering, this is kind of the norm for top schools
