So I have two options for early action for college. One is Stanford and the other is Caltech. i plan to major in mathematics. If anyone could offer suggestions as to the pros and cons of both universities, in an unbiased manner, it would be deeply helpful.

DERIVATIVES THAT I NEED TO KNOWNot sure if you are aware (you are at 100 tech, so maybe you do know, but gonna say it anyway), when you are buying tech to send out, NEVER have more than 100 on hand at one time. You should be profiting from selling tech if you are using the 12 step format. Starting at 0 tech, buy 12 batches in this order: one batch of 4.5, then two batches of 10, then a batch of 5, then four batches of 10, a batch of 5, two batches of 10, and finally a batch of 5.5.
NOTE:
If you have an odd number of tech that is less than 0.5 tech (0.01 to 0.49), ignore it as if it doesnt exist. This can happen from being hit in war and losing partial tech. So if you have 0.34 tech, buy like normal using the steps exactly. (You'd have 4.84 in this example after buying the first batch of 4.5...and end with 100.34 after all batches are bought).)
If you have an odd number more than 0.5 (0.51 to 0.99), you would buy only 4 on the first batch, not 4.5. So if you have 0.69 tech, you only buy 4 tech on the first batch, then follow all other steps exactly. (You'd have 4.69 in this example after buying the first batch of 4 instead of 4.5...and end with 100.19 after all batches are bought. Then your next time buying you'd follow the above example having less than 0.5 tech remaining.)

phdcomics is based at Stanford? And Big Bang Theory is set at Caltech. I don't know if that helps or not.

I think it largely depends on what you plan on doing after. Do you have any idea at all?

Do you plan on teaching math or getting a Ph.D? Otherwise switch to engineering.
Also if I remember correctly early actions means you have to decide by December or something, at least I think that is how it was for me out of high school, I suggest being careful on making a hasty decision.

Well my grades are little below average, so my chances of getting in are low, but I want to getting a phd is one option I am considering

Well I have no opinion on either school one way or another, I just have the math view as it was something I always loved, but never really enjoyed the career aspects of such a degree hence my choice to go the engineering route. Grades aside you could always go the two year route and save a ton of money and boost up everything for when you transfer. Just a few thoughts.
Yeah proofs, my friends who went the math route speak highly of them. XD

Skip college.
Create a fair tax code to eliminate 18 trillion dollars of debt and raise the interest on currency so it's actually worth something.
Return the stolen wealth of Social Security to the rightful owners and privatize retirement and healthcare.
Sell it to the morons in Washington DC for a billion dollars and retire in your 20's.
Aim high... don't be a tool... achieve greatness. Do that up there and I'll have your picture on the $50, because Grant was a crook.
Woke (adj.)
A state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough
to find injustice in everything except their own behavior.
