<p>Caltech will be harder, but it wont be so hard that I wont get a degree, Sakky. If its that hard, I will transfer. Yes, I may fail a class once or twice but that wont keep me from getting my degree. Now if I was planning on going to medical school, I would see where going to a school like Stanford would be better because a higher GPA would matter. I would definitely rather do caltech for UG and stanford for grad than the reverse. But maybe Stanford UG and MIT grad would be better? Banking on that seems risky though. However, I do realize I have to keep my mind open. What if I decide I dont want to get a PhD all of a sudden in college? Then i would be in a better situation at stanford I think, in more ways than one. As for the kind of work I want to do, I think I would rather work on high-level engineering projects than on simple stuff like youtube. For example, fusion power, nanotechnology, etc.</p>
