I only saw an EA discussion and nothing for RD, so here it is, so far nothing heard from Caltech yet.

Any word on when Cal Tech will release the decisions? This Saturday?

3

how do you know?

Last year decision release was Mar 9 (monday). CalTech also tries to release results before MIT (3/14). So this year could be Mar 8 (unlikely because of increase in apps) or Mar 13 (next saturday).

Checklist is gone on the application portal. You can see that as a sign in the last year CC discussion as well.

I am not sure where @annaedleson got the time of 3:09 PST from, but for last year they were released at 5:08pm PST on March 7th 2020. I don’t believe Caltech announces their decision date.

The reason I believe why they remove the check list from the application portal is that every time you login to the portal it makes a dip into the applicant database to pull the real time check list information. They don’t want the system hang from database connection overload when thousands of applicants click on the application portal on the decision day. It makes sense to keep only the static information and decision letters on the portal which are pulled from the filesystem as opposed to the real time information such as check list which needs to be pulled from the database. Just my two cents to why they remove the checklist before the decision day.

does Caltech provide deferred option, considering many will probably go to MIT etc if they’re accepted there one week later.

how will you be notified, email? phone call? or on its portal? finger-crossed…
