A non-trivial fraction of Chinese IMO medalists join Tsinghua's Math and TCS departments, so I'd wager that many of them not only do their Ph.Ds in the US, but go to the very best American grad schools.<br /><br />About I.I.T. I recall reading a theorist blog about how students were no longer applying to grad school as they used to earlier.

And I agree that Caltech is exceptional (and probably has the most intelligent students in the USA per capita). <br /><br />Let me change and refine what I wrote. I believe that engineers can make good money with just a BA or a masters for that matter. Science grads, OTOH, tend to need a PhD more than others.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759718531790878976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-61359503608696194202010-01-03T21:16:26.236-05:002010-01-03T21:16:26.236-05:00Huh?

Also, I think the traditional earnings sweet spot for engineers was a masters degree.<br /><br />Show me another school where 50% of the undergrads are remotely capable of attempting a PhD.Steve Hsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02428333897272913660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-74217353137690252092010-01-03T21:06:18.728-05:002010-01-03T21:06:18.728-05:00"(Almost 50 percent of Caltech undergrads go ..."(Almost 50 percent of Caltech undergrads go on to earn a doctorate.)"<br /><br />But in order to make money with a science/engineering degree you have to have a Phd.
