<p>Does anyone know of a place online where I can see some sample Caltech essays?</p>
<p>What would be the point of that?</p>
<p>All college essays ive read from books have been from harvard, yale, princeton, etc. None from Caltech or MIT. I just want to know if Caltech looks for anything different in essays. Im guessing they should prbly be more science related?</p>
<p>Umm... if you've read "books" worth of college essays, you've probably read more than enough. Remember, we're not trying to find out how well you can write a formulaic essay, we're trying to find out who you are. The more you read other's essays, the more you will be influenced by them.</p>
<p>Bottom line: Answer the questions truthfully and put as much of yourself into it as possible. Don't try to give them what they want, give them what you are.</p>
