does caltech really not count cs as a stem subject

#

do they want a core subject

#

you could ask for a rec from a math or physics teacher before the RD deadline?

#

Duke, USC, Loyola Marymount (idk how lgbtq friendly the campus is), Cal Poly (not diverse though), Yale could be good options

I mean they still admit people in the RD round. but yeah it's a super selective school so it'd be a reach

Dartmouth would be awesome for you

#

Some of the smallest classes out there, recently dumped a ton of money into cs so very strong for it and math, famous for access to nature and work hard play hard mentality. Also some of the easiest research opportunities since the undergrads outnumber the grad students by so much

#

Based on your preferences dartmouth kinda sounds like the perfect fit bar it not being on the west coast I guess

#

Cornell also fits a lot of those criteria (except the research opportunities and class sizes)

#

No its very left leaning

#

Its the most conservative ivy but trust me thats still very left lol

#

Id say 90% of the people ive met (whose political affiliations ive found out) were democrats

#

Faculty also are more democrats and the surrounding town of hanover is even more blue than the student body
