<p>Its about time guys..judgment day is approaching XD</p>
<p>Approx Time of Arrival at the moment: 25 hours 36 minutes</p>
<p>[Countdown</a> to Mar 13, 2010 12:00 Noon in Los Angeles](<a href=“Time since Mar 13, 2010 12:00 noon started in Los Angeles”>Time since Mar 13, 2010 12:00 noon started in Los Angeles)</p>
<p>O NO I AM FEELING NERVOUS…
I wonder how many applicants applied to Caltech in RD round? I heard the school got its record applicants this year…5000+ students compete for only 600 seats! o my god…
My rational sense keeps saying to me that it’s impossible for me to get in, yet the irrational heart whispers in my head,“who knows? perhaps you’ve got a chance!” <em>sigh</em> </p>
<p>perhaps you should also start a thread “be prepared for rejections” as students do in MIT forum?</p>
<p>ahhh! I know I’ll be rejected, but until I see the “unfortunately…” I can’t crush all hope! I reread my essays today, and found a punctuation typo… ugh</p>
<p>it is even possible for someone with almost notable math/science awards to get in (even if they have all perfect AP and SAT subject test scores)?</p>
<p>I got in with a grand total of 0 math/science awards, so yes.</p>
<p>where can we check our admission status tomorrow? do they send us emails?</p>
<p>Ya… Caltech has sent me a couple of emails before, but they seem to be silent for this month, and I’m now freaking…</p>
<p>cjk, you should receive an email tomorrow with a link to your decision.</p>
<p>Chill, kenhungkk. That’s how it usually goes. :)</p>
<p>Omggg One Day! That’s soo excitinggg!</p>
<p>But @dawn: 600?! How come the graduating classes only have ~200 students then? :O</p>
<p>they take more than 200 but a lot of them go to other schools… since peole who get into caltech often get into other good schools. i think?</p>
<p>Haha alright.</p>
<p>@XoKiwiKisses: last year Caltech’s yield is around 35% or something. It’s impossible for them to have 100% yield, eve Harvard cannot achieve that.</p>
<p>and I wonder, among all applicants here, how many have IMO or iPHO (or any similar competitions) medals?? I haven’t got any omg I hate myself. :(</p>
<p>i dont xD i hate myself too i guess?</p>
<p>I don’t, but I’m not legally eligible… I hope they consider that lol</p>
<p>Woaaah, 35 is pretty low. I understand that no one gets a 100, but still.</p>
<p>35? :S</p>
<p>35 is too low for a school so nice like Caltech. Maybe I can help push it up this year? :P</p>

<p>One thing started with I: IMO… And going to make IMO and IPhO this year.</p>
