<p>@dawncoming: I’m from Armenia. I know it’s very dangerous, but I had time limitations, especially for preparing for TOEFL and taking it. So my school list became very limited. Besides if I 'm not accepted to Top 10 US Uni, I’ll have to pay for delay of two-year military service a huge sum (which I obviously don’t have).</p>
<p>@dawncoming: geez…that student got into Caltech with FA?? she would have been very happy 
where is she from?</p>
<p>I do think they have quotas by countries, because different regions have their specialized science fairs and other prestigious regional competitions that need to be taken note of. So they have adcoms that are specialized in the different regions of the world. So they prolly have a rough quota of how many they can take per region, regardless of ethnicity.</p>
<p>thats why u generally find a relatively huge oriental population (not being racist here in anyway) in Caltech coz even though they are of the same ethnicity, they come from different regions of the world.</p>
<p>@indianmonster: indeed! she fainted when saw the decision. I am so jealous of her. o and she’s definitely a Chinese, never been abroad before.</p>
