Caltech Class 2027 Official Thread

This is what you wrote. It was about the Caltech student.

Anyway…congrats to your nephew…he actually did better than the Caltech grad🙂

The med school forum is a better place to discuss med school, so please move that conversation over there.

Parking at Caltech is $60/month and student parking spots are plentiful.

Thanks a lot. This is helpful

I remember when the parking it was free. So, I still consider that expensive. But since you can’t park on nearby streets for more than a couple of hours, you don’t have a choice. There are plenty of spots though.

It has been many years, but Caltech had a summer program with the nearby hospital. They also offered some other benefits.

Any idea how many were waitlisted in total this year?

When does Caltech announce if they are accepting anyone off the waitlist? This year with REA, their yield is likely to be much higher?

not sure. The AOs told me early to mid-May

Yield is expected to be higher, but as someone wrote above, they also accepted about 100 less than usual to account for that. The question is how good they were at predicting where yield ends up in an REA process.

Any news?

Waitlist is closed. Apparently they overenrolled a ton this year, yield was higher than expected :cry:

So sorry. My son got the email as well. He is so disappointed. I hope you have options you are excited about. It’s been a weird year.

Thank you! Same to your son.
