2020 Caltech Discussion Thread

The news of the decision time last year came from www.admissions.caltech.edu on the announcements part. I’ve been refreshing that for 2 days and nothing.
Multiple people called yesterday including myself and we were not given straight answers. If anyone wants to try calling go ahead. I’m not in the case that they recognize my voice from yesterday.

Wait! There’s a status update on my portal!

well we got the email now. I still haven’t checked I’m so scared.

It’s the decision

ACCEPTED!

I got in!!! I’m crying omg

Rejected lol… Not even a deferral. Looks like I’m f***ed for MIT on Wednesday then

@Random404 I really don’t want to be in this thread honestly, but I mean I don’t think decisions from one school have any bearing on decisions from another.

Denied

Now I’m wondering if all the rejection letters say the same thing…

Rejected… Out of curiosity, what does it say if you get deferred?

I’m in! Congrats to everyone who was accepted!

Deferred letter says this: “While we cannot offer you admission at this time, you may choose to be reconsidered in our Regular Decision review.”

Caltech has rejected an IMO gold medalist so remember to take your decision with a grain of salt.

@tutututututuru

I know they don’t directly, but if I can’t even come in the top half of Caltech applicants, why would I be any better within the MIT pool?

Accepted! Congrats to everyone who was accepted.

Accepted! I can’t believe it!

Accepted also! Finally have one acceptance; now I can stop panicking!

Why do I feel like the people here are mostly either rejected or accepted …not a lot of deferrals this year? I’m rejected…but as an international I partially anticipated this…

I got deferred.
TBH, I’m quite happy with this. This means that even as a Korean, my scores, ECs, and essays make me a viable candidate.
MOVING ONTO UCHICAGO’S EA THREAD NOW.
Oh, and congrats to everyone who got in! ^^
