<p>According to US News, the colleges that have the greatest under-performance for graduation are Caltech, MIT, CMU, Georgia Tech, Rochester, Case Western and RPI in the top 50, with the difference between predicted and actual graduation rate from -4% to -6%.</p>
<p>One can see that with the exception of Rochester, the rest of the colleges are heavily focused in engineering and science. The lower graduation rate might be a systemic issue, not one to fault Caltech for. That being said, having a 89% graduation rate for Caltech isn’t too bad, is it?</p>
