Caltech 2020 Waitlist Discussion

@nhnct21 Did you by any chance receive a phone call from your regional counselor?

@acollegebound101 I got a phone call but I don’t believe it was from my regional officer

hmm…I really thought something would happen today. (or maybe something did…dunDunDUNN)

@nhnct21 Oh ok, just asking because I received a phone call from my counselor last Wednesday but haven’t heard back since. May I ask who you did get a call from then?

@acollegebound101 You got an offer? Congrats!!!

@shostakovich4ever haha no I didn’t. That’s what I’m wondering about- my counselor called to ask me if I was still interested in the waitlist but didn’t get back to me after that. Did anyone else get a similar call?

Well I didn’t :confused: Hmmm…maybe they’re giving everyone a call and it’s just taking time? There are around 400 people on the wait list after all. I remember reading how a few years ago they did something like this…

When did you receive your call? If it was around 3-5pm then it makes sense that if they’re calling everyone, it would take a really long time (since they can’t exactly call during school time). If it’s just a few people then I wish you the best of luck!!!

I received an email before the phone call asking what time my counselor could call me, so she called me during the time period I said worked for me.

What a strangle call. If anything is spreading the “mystique” of college admissions it would be this lol

lol ikr

@acollegebound101 One last thing. Do you remember who called? Like the specific person? Since if it was one of the Director of Admissions then I feel you’ll probably get an offer soon. (Idk…just my feeling; also I’m just curious)

@shostakovich4ever Yep, it was Nikki Chun. Her profile says “Senior Associate Director of Admissions,” but she is also the regional counselor in my area so… I have no clue what is going on haha

I also received an email first from a counselor asking when they could call me. I got a call the same day and was offered admission. It could be that they’re waiting to hear back from other waitlisters and are putting you on hold as a candidate until then? My guess is as good as yours though

Okay, thank you! This is so confusing lol

@nhnct21 Which day did you get an offer? Like date?

May 13th

Okay thank you! I’ll keep my fingers crossed haha

any more updates? I know they technically keep in running until July, but does anyone know if the current spots are filled yet? chances are slim for me considering I have yet to get a call from anyone, but you never know
