*Caltech c/o 2018 Applicants*

<p>We share the same home screens, @UsernameTaken2 :)</p>

<p>It’s past noon in Pasadena again… ~X( </p>

<p>Ugh. It really does feel like Pi Day will bring two rejections instead of one… :’(</p>

<p>This wait is physically painful.</p>

<p><a href=“http://admissions.caltech.edu/public_announcements/71”>http://admissions.caltech.edu/public_announcements/71&lt;/a&gt; great news…so to say :smiley:
Freshman Decisions will be released tonight, March 13th at 6:30 PM PST. All Regular Decision applicants will receive an email with a link to their portal. Please log in to your student applicant portal to access your decision letter.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info…my son is waiting to hear from Harvey Mudd and CalTech. If he gets in CalTech we’ll go ahead and book plane tickets for a visit over spring break, so I’ve been checking this obsessivly!!!</p>

<p>Oh man… T - 4.83 hours. And counting down.</p>

<p>@carolinacatz That’s exactly my situation right now.</p>

<p>I had a feeling they would never release decisions while the admissions office was still open! I think they all do it on Friday nights or on Saturdays so they don’t have to field 20k phone calls in the minutes after! Thanks for the info! </p>

<p>Countdown :-SS

<p>:-S I held my breath for almost a minute after I saw that announcement. I’m so nervous and excited at the same time!</p>

<p>Take your Vitamin C, kids! ;)</p>

<p>@carolinacatz, if your son is admitted to Caltech, he will be invited to Prefrosh Weekend. They announce the date only to admitted students. Unlike MIT, who openly states their Campus Preview Weekend this year is April 10-13. My guess is Caltech’s Prefrosh Weekend will be on the same dates, or two weeks later (after Easter). So if admitted, your son will have a choice whether to visit Caltech over his spring break or during Prefrosh Weekend.</p>

<p>caltech prefrosh is 4/17~4/19 if I do not remember wrong</p>

<p>When we spoke last October, our admissions rep would only say “mid-April” for the date. But for the <em>days</em>, he did say it would start at noon Thursday and prefrosh depart Saturday morning. So I guess it could be on Easter weekend, like you think, since they end before that Sunday.</p>

<p>The week before Easter is right when we plan to be out there, but I don’t want to jinx anything so Knock on wood!</p>

<p>We are also waiting on Harvey Mudd and MIT…</p>

<p>Two hours and thirty minutes…</p>

<p>Two hours.</p>

<p>Let’s all October Sky together and get hyped up while the time ticks away! :smiley: </p>
