<p>They enjoy surprising their applicants…</p>
<p>I like being surprised when I am surprised pleasantly. Hoping for an acceptance but who knows?
My scores and EC’s/awards are in range of admission but I am an international student needing fin. aid. I know that it doesn’t help :(</p>
<p>Well they sure did surprise us by not releasing admissions last Saturday :p</p>
<p>Could it really be any day this week? I.e., even Wednesday 3/12? </p>
<p>Did the toefl thing come up for every international applicant? I guess it means something good now, or maybe I am fantasizing. Sigh.
Y u no release the decisions Caltech!!</p>
<p>@BetterThanBest International here too! They asked me for the toefl too quite some while ago… It just popped up some day on my status/requirements page :I </p>
<p>@Betterthanbest - Did you get TOEFL too?</p>
<p>@Movethemoon- What is your CR score? and did you send toefl too?</p>
<p>just called them now asking when decisions will be released and they said “definitely within a week”</p>
<p>Interesting, I called earlier and was told “by the end of the week”…</p>
<p>@mathsoul, You mean for the SAT? 660… and yes I did send my toefl too! As my SATs were really low, I don’t expect to be admitted to caltech though…</p>
<p>Watch them ■■■■■ everyone and release decisions at the same time as MIT. Double-kill</p>
<p>@jerryaeroastro Haha, that’s what I thought as well! I think either tomorrow (to keep the tradition of releasing decisions before MIT) or on pie day… I think saturday is too late :)</p>
<p>It would be smarter if they released decisions before MIT too… If a cross-admit were to get into MIT first, that would undoubtedly be more exciting than hearing from Caltech soon afterwards, in the middle of an adrenaline rush that was caused** by another school**. </p>
<p>So, in terms of yield, waiting too long is not in Caltech’s favor.</p>
<p>That’s why I believe it will be at max 3:00 EST Friday</p>
<p>Hi guys,
I made a thread for us to post our decisions: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/california-institute-technology/1625066-official-caltech-class-of-2018-rd-decisions-thread.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/california-institute-technology/1625066-official-caltech-class-of-2018-rd-decisions-thread.html</a>. I’m really curious to see which of us get in and I’m sure the information will be helpful for future applicants. Thanks</p>
<p>The baseball coach told me on Sunday that they will be making final decisions early this week </p>
<p>Since there are somewhat-conflicting dates coming from different people at Caltech (but all are “very soon”), it sounds like something came up at the last minute and they’re trying to sort it out as quickly as they can.</p>
<p>@UsernameTaken2 From what I’ve heard that thing is most likely delayed mid-year reports.</p>
<p>I didn’t give the toefl. My sat super score was 800 CR, 800 Math, 760 writing. </p>
<p>I think I’m obsessing over this too much.</p>
<p>You know what’s more obsessive than this thread showing up on the home screen of Chrome?</p>
