<p>So…let’s be honest here…you mention wanting to do “math research” as an undergrad but don’t have the math prowess to handle something like Math55…and you are applying to MIT but not interested in Caltech…which is basically a sister school to M…</p>
<p>…I’m getting the picture that you want to basically be a math major (lite) at “these” schools so that you can go into consulting or finance…am I getting warmer?</p>
<p>…it’s nothing to be ashamed of…if that is what you ultimately see yourself doing…</p>
