Although similar, they are not interchangeable. MIT for engineering and applied sciences, jobs with only BS. Caltech for theoretical, earth and natural sciences, and for those intending to go on to Phd. Caltech is much more Ivory Tower of science.

Thanks for the post. Interesting and cogent analysis. Unfortunate that Caltech ruined its objectivity and integrity in this interest of woke.

As a Caltech student that’s part of last objective class, I can’t agree more. Pain.
