Finally got through to Caltech admissions via phone!
Unfortunately, they don’t know when the decisions will be released yet, but they will contact us as soon as they know.
That’s the word I got.
Caltech just removed the checklist for my application portal… A sign that it’s coming out soon?!?
@allista Me too! Hmmm…
Me too. But why’d they say they don’t know? Is it really not tomorrow?
A little bit of an unrelated question, but why do all colleges remove the checklist before they release decisions?
@tutututututuru Maybe they’re not allowed to tell people ahead of time? Idk.
I mean that could be it. I don’t feel like going through all the old threads, but I’m pretty sure I remember someone posting about calling and getting some kind of news, maybe even the date, from the call.
They either don’t know what time tomorrow, or it could be between then and December 15.
I’m guessing the former, but I didn’t ask as to not seem too anxious because I know they work really long and hard at their jobs.
That’s what I got from calling them.
They’d have to at least come to a decision by tonight though? If they are coming out tomorrow. I guess I shouldn’t forget that it’s only 4 PM in California, so they have plenty of time.
The application portal no longer shows the checklist of submitted items, so it must be soon.
Rip
I for one am looking forward to the admissions decisions
I called and they said within a week.
Does Caltech ever release admissions decisions on a day other than Saturday?
OMG! How can they say “within a week”? That makes me very pessimistic for chances of tomorrow. What’s happening guys? Every single school is not following their set pattern.
I’m still expecting this weekend if not tomorrow. Maybe “a week” was worst-case scenario?
If they’re coming out tomorrow, there is no “worst-case scenario”. Everything should be about finalized. Unless I’m mistaken. I don’t see them coming out on a Sunday, but again that’s just my opinion. Now I’m disheartened…
Gah. I want it to be tomorrow so I can not worry about the suspense during finals next week. I don’t know how much longer my cautious optimism can hold.
@tutututututuru I found out Caltech lets people know by the 15th through this link: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-university-search/california-institute-of-technology (go to “Deadlines”)
