2020 Caltech Discussion Thread

@smartypants57 - that would be my impression too.
Still, I will probably call because, there is just no way we can meet that deadline.

@smartypants57 @bookmom7 I think so too.

Does anyone know when prefrosh weekend is this year? All you early admits, have they told you guys?

@whynotnow it’s April 14-16. But I wouldn’t start planning for it or anything until you have actually been accepted (I almost made that mistake with a scholarship…)

@smartypants57 haha, don’t worry I’m not planning to. It’s just nice to know so I can dream. :smiley:

Do any of you know when the admission decision for caltech will be released

@DonkeyKong466 it’s usually March 13, the day before pi day (and the day before MIT releases decisions)

@smartypants57 On a Sunday? I am sketchy about that.

@Desiree2 Caltech released EA decisions on a Saturday this year, so…
Also, MIT pretty much always does pi day regardless of the day of the week.
I suppose Caltech might do it on the 12th instead though.

The checklist of submitted materials disappeared on my portal… has this happened to anyone else?

Yea same here. My “upload materials” is still there though

same! my “upload materials” is also still there.

It might be because they are getting ready to release decisions, so they’re prepping the portal for that.

Do you guys think that admission results will come out on sat, sun or pi day (mon)

Will it be March 12 or 13? Different sources claim different days, but most are saying 12th.

Tbh no one really knows - Caltech doesn’t really release their admissions dates, and it’s just kind of a surprise. I only knew decisions were released for EA when they were because I saw it on CC

Yikes! I had no idea Caltech results came out so soon! I don’t have much hope since my math II scores weren’t perfect and I haven’t won any research competitions, but am excited none the less.

What is everyone planning on majoring in? I’m probably going to do CS :slight_smile:

When are they going to notify us of the decision date?
Is it at the same moment they’re out?

@Jado17 for EA, they emailed us saying decisions were available on the portal with no previous email specifying a date

Okay, since nobody except the Admissions Office has any clue about the date, I’ll just say it now - best of luck to everyone here!
