What would happen if I transfer to MIT from Caltech

<p>1.Would I have a decent shot if my GPA (at Caltech) is consistent?
2.How frequent does this happen? 1-2 a year? 15-20?
3.Could I do my Bachelors degree xD at one place and Masters at another? Like is this awkward?
4.Which majors does each school emphasize more? For example, MIT has Sloans management school and I don't think Caltech has one.. Or do they?
5.The two locations... Pasadena and Boston... Which one is more populated xD
6.Does MIT have a honor code like CIT? Or special privilege to labs
7.Does MIT have a 24 hour access library?
8.Who got the Beaver mascot first?</p>

<p>There are two of us that ‘defected’ this past term, but two anecdotes do not make a pattern. Definitely possible, but obviously chancing is absolutely impossible.</p>

<p>More information about what you intend to major in is useful.</p>

<p>MIT does <em>not</em> have an honor code like Caltech’s - exams are proctored and not take-home, and access to buildings and labs is slightly more restrictive than at Caltech.</p>

<p>

No, it’s pretty normal – there’s no expectation that you would go to the same school for both your bachelor’s and master’s degrees. MIT has some five-year bachelor’s plus master’s degrees that are restricted to people who are MIT undergrads, and I assume Caltech might have the same kinds of programs, but the general master’s programs are open for application by anyone from any school.</p>

<p>@mollie, hi Mollie, so what kind of programs does MIT have that gets someone a masters degree in 5 years … That sounds really really nice :o</p>

<p>I am not Mollie but, I will try to answer this question in some context.</p>

<p>Course 6 (Electrical and Computer Science and Engineering) has a program similar to that.

<p>Course 10 (Chemical Engineering) and Course 22 (Nuclear Engineering) do as well.

<p>Course 20 (Bioengineering) also has a similar program.

<p>Course 2 (Mechanical Engineering) has one.

<p>These are some programs offered at MIT in the engineering school.</p>

<p>Ugh… So many majors… They all look great , is there a survey to help us decide? haha thanks for the answer by the way! EE, ME, BE… Nuclear sounds fun too</p>
