<p>Does anyone know when and how CalTech will release decisions?</p>
<p>mid march man</p>
<p>While I am aware that Caltech's website states that it releases decisions in mid-march, I was looking for a slightly more specific date. MIT for example has stated that it will release decisions ONLINE on Saturday March, 18 at 12:00 PM eastern time.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think Ben Golub said it's going to be at least one week after mid March this year due to increase of applicants. I am guessing between 3/20 and 3/25.</p>
<p>There's no online site for decision, nor will Caltech send you an email. Caltech will mail all the decisions.</p>
<p>Ben Golub has been very informative, if there's any latest update, he will definitely post it here on CC Caltech forum. For now, just wait patiently.</p>
<p>Or, someone will call you. I know that, at least in my area, there will be someone making the calls. She was almost my calculus teacher.</p>
<p>Although this year, you will probably get the letter before the call.</p>
<p>frozen-tears, on which date did Caltech call you last year?</p>
<p>Hehe, I'm neither a Techer nor a prefrosh. I just happen to know the woman who's calling. She teaches math at a junior college (where I took multivariable calc) and is pursuing graduate degrees in math and geology at Tech. Good luck!</p>
<p>(If you really want to know when she'll be making the calls this year, I can find out for you in a couple of hours. I'm actually in class right now.)</p>
<p>oh yeah, thanks for asking her.</p>
<p>lol I had no ideas calls happened at all.</p>
<p>"As soon as [she] finds out." Sorry it's not more helpful, but at least you know they're not sadistic about it.</p>
<p>Also, be warned that if you get a scholarship, you may be moved to the end of the call list. Thus, if you are obsessed enough to know whether you should have been called based on alphabetical order, you can either be more hopeful or less.</p>
<p>why does getting a scholarship put you at the end? there must be some reason, but I can't figure it out haha</p>
<p>The Caltech website says "RD posted on 15th March....." Good luck to all!</p>
<p>You're not called alphabetically; you're called based on your region's alumni volunteer.</p>
<p>...but within the region, there may be some sort of order, alphabetical or otherwise. I admit my information is quite old :)</p>
