If you’re a fan of The Big Bang Theory, you’ve probably seen Sheldon, Leonard and the gang working at Caltech – but what if you could study there? Well, the California Institute of Technology does exactly what it says on the tin, and offers its undergraduates and postgraduates the chance to study and learn in some of the best research facilities in the country. They mostly specialize in science and engineering, and it’s widely regarded that a degree from Caltech will largely help your job search after you graduate. However, only 9% of applicants get in each year.
