<p>So I heard about the 3/2 program caltech does and read what I could find ( <a href="http://admissions.caltech.edu/admissions/3-2%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.caltech.edu/admissions/3-2&lt;/a> has an overview ) and it looks interesting but I'd like to learn more about it. My chances of getting into Caltech are mediocre, but there are some nice colleges in the program that I shouldn't have much trouble getting into. I guess my main question is, why does Caltech do it? Like what's the advantage for them over making people do regular admissions?</p>

<p>Also, how good does one have to do in the first three years to make Caltech with the 3/2 program? Any statistics on how many students were admitted through the program? I can't seem to find them.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Daniel</p>

<p>I have no idea how many apply, but only 2 or 3 people are admitted every year for the program.</p>

<p>Really? That's total from all the schools? Wow... wouldn't regular transfer be easier?</p>

<p>Transfering to caltech is very difficult as well, I think they accept like 7% of transfers.</p>
