2020 Caltech Discussion Thread

Is there any chance they might post on the portal tomorrow without sending an email today?

Should someone try calling the admissions office?

I’d be more than happy if someone does and lets this page know.

@smartypants57 can you post the link to what you’re talking about with Collegeboard having a placeholder date for Caltech? And I could’ve sworn a bunch of schools said December 15.

Poster below me should call

@tutututututuru I’ve actually tried calling the admissions office, but no one’s picking up…

I’ve tried three times and the phone rings for a minute and nobody answers so I guess they’re busy. Going off last year, it’s likely to be Saturday at possibly 11 am PT (source: the College Confidential’s Caltech thread last year).
Either the Caltech admissions website or an email should tell us exactly when decisions will come today or tomorrow morning.

Does Caltech do anything special with release dates? Like MIT is releasing at 6:28pm (2pi)

I don’t think Caltech does anything weird.

I will say, about the time, this: maybe CC or my iPad is weird, but according to an older thread, the results came out at like 8 or 9 in the morning one year. We could wake up to results.

What timezone are you in? @tutututututuru

You don’t “wake up” to results if you don’t sleep :)…

I’m in Central. Sorry!

For this post it says 9:44 a.m. for me :http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/california-institute-technology/1427004-official-caltech-class-of-2017-ea-results-thread-p1.html

For another it says 1:08 p.m., another says 9:12 a.m., and another says 6:09 a.m.!

For what it’s worth, the 2019 thread, last year’s, says 1:08.

Ahh no pattern to even help us predict a time

Right now, I’m not even concerned with what time it comes out; I just want to know if it comes out tomorrow :((

^^^ same. Though I’d be kinda shocked if it weren’t tomorrow. It’s always a Saturday. It haaaaaas to be tomorrow.
I would hope for, like, a noon release time though. A few hours to chill and prepare myself.

I believe that last year it came out at 11 AM PST (2 PM EST)

That’s the logical conclusion. I mean, it definitely didn’t come out at 1:08. Still, 8 minutes before the first post!!

Would the 19th be too late for Caltech?

It would be way late, going by previous years.
