<p>I liked Olin but decided it would not be able to
support my UG goals and involved an unecessary level
of risk avoided at MIT/Caltech.
Here are some questions that I asked ;)</p>
<p>How many MIT course 20s would be happy studying at Olin
versus at MIT/Caltech Chem E/Biomolecular track?</p>
<p>What if there is only one professor in the specific area you like
at Olin and he/she wanders off? Is there enough depth to
offer a plan B/C without rethinking my career choices? </p>
<p>Am I going to be logging hours travelling back and forth to
Wellesley College and Babson to take courses when I
could be doing something useful?</p>
<p>hmmm..I do not get any advantage financially going to
Olin over MIT/Caltech given my income bracket…:(</p>
<p>There is no doubt that Olin is being ranked high for the obvious benefits
it offers its matriculants. In my limited research, I did find Olin is a great
place for training to be an entrepreneur but then so is Babson…</p>
