I decided to graduate as a junior and now I'm happy that I did. :)

Other school decisions don't come out until April 1st. :(

Congrats, now you get to choose between colleges rather than having them choose you.

jesus what kind of GPA and scores do you got? Both are great schools, guess you gotta choose based on which one offers a better program for what you want to go into. If its Computer Engineering, then you're in a toughie cuz they are both top rated Engineering schools.
but yea, congrats on that.

Congrats!!!! what do you want to study? Between those 2 great schools, I'd personally choose Caltech. They spend more money per student then any other school IIRC and the weather is also nicer in CA, then MA,

Wow congrats man.
An upside of making the final decision in this case is that you win with either of the two schools.

Caltech sucks? :confused:

Yeah, that pasadena weather really blows, Caltech is a uber ugly campus, and academics sucks there.

Don't get me wrong...MIT is a great school but Caltech definitely does not suck.

You're gonna find no hot babes at Caltech, you MIGHT have a chance in MIT. And plus, my dad turned down Caltech and went to MIT, so I would probably do the same.

an advice is to actually go to the department for your major in each school. Talk to your counselor or professors. You surely can afford it (after the 50k!)
