hi, sorry for posting again but the deadline for commitment is coming up and i am so stressed. i also think i have a bit more to talk about so

i really like caltech culture and curriculum. im definitely a pset on weekends enjoyer, and i would probably be majoring in acm; it would also probably be easier for me to standout if i went to caltech

stanford and mit both offer more flexibility and freedom though which i also value, i might be challenged in novel ways i haven’t really thought about before, also better entrepreneurship / industry connections. i think both schools also have comparable research access. mit weather and location are kind of mid tho (im from socal)

price isn’t a factor

please help…..

okay so i’m trying to decide where to commit and norcal is certyianly more alluring than wintry boston. but is it js me or are stanford people on average genuinely intolerable 🫩 compared to ur average MIT kid. i think ill end up at stanford tbh but ill always wonder what it would be like if i was a part of the mit community

hi, looking for advice here— prospective freshman (undergrad) at all three schools. if i’m fairly confident i want to pursue some form of ml or ai engineering, what should i know when making my final commitment decision? ie how respected each name is, how much frontier work is going on, which are more likely to position me at the top for industry recruiting.

are there any notable differences?

thank u so much
