@pack3rr u hav got good stat. Any idea what else to do
Waitlisted Caltech and waiting to hear from MIT
Can anyone find the admission statistics? As how many people applied, got accepted, waitlisted, denied, etc?
Wait list varies by year. If you want to be kept on the list, respond with a true positive. Caltech may send a postcard or email in a week, so you can see where else you are accepted and if caltech is still your #1
@bookworm What do you mean “respond with a true positive”?
@bookworm please explain. U mean to say caltech ll send out acceptances to some waitlist ppl within a week
"U mean to say caltech ll send out acceptances to some waitlist ppl within a week "
No, she means let CT know if you are genuinely interested on being on their waitlist, and they will send you a post card in a week or so confirming you are on their WL.
After you receive the rest of your application results, let CT know if you STILL want to be WLstd.
Last years waitlist discussion thred
Read it somewhere that like they have different defferal letters…colleges have different type of waitlist letters too… can we all write here what kind of waitlist letters were posted in portal.

Caltech typically waitlists around 600 students, and around 450 students accept a position. However, 0 people got off the waitlist. The year before, 47 students were accepted off the waitlist, which still is around a 10% acceptance rate. The best we can do for now is to provide the admissions office with an update letter on any new developments over the past semester, or a new letter of rec which explains your interest in STEM. New updates/LORs must be sent in by Monday, April 15th.
*0 people got off the waitlist last year
Hmm, if Caltech doesn’t rank its waitlist, then why would it still ask us for updates?
@dewrrrett strange. I read in the 2020 waitlist discussion that some people got off the waitlist…
Last yr 40 ppl were accepted from waitlist
Any body sent any update to caltech ?
Would an international student asking for full aid have any chance of getting accepted off the waitlist at Caltech?
Caltech is highly need aware for internationals. So to what extent will that affect waitlist decisions?
