<p>^^point one isn’t true, I think that was misspoken by accident. It is the grad school name that is more important.</p>
<p>Given that you are interested in the culture at other schools, and maybe a more well rounded student body, I think that it’s a good idea to apply to a variety. You can spend time learning about them, checking the individual forums here, and have some choices come spring. I do know one guy who said that he didn’t think MIT was great for an undergrad experience and would have picked elsewhere in hindsight, but that’s just one guy and that’s 15 years ago.</p>
