Super Brilliant
Caltech is a great school for the right kind of person:

1) Very smart
2) Sure they want to do math, science or engineering
3) Having a quirky/geeky outlook and sense of humor
4) Willing to take on an overwhelming workload

If you don't match all four of these, stay away at all costs. If you do, there's nowhere better.

Hard work. Thin on girls. But I'll be better off in the long run.

And some fantastic stuff happens here.

Quite Bright
The most important thing that Caltech taught me was a solid work ethic, good problem solving algorithms, and an understanding of my own limits (which aren't as much as I thought they were!)

After the extraordinary challenge of classes at Caltech (what other place is going to require every single student to take quantum physics and linear algebra?) the rest of life has been a breeze... granted, I have only been out for 5 years, but those 5 years have included graduate work at MIT, working at a small engineering company that faced extreme funding issues, and getting married, amongst other things. I feel like after having finished Caltech, I can take on pretty much whatever I want.
