<p>Caltech Signature Award:</p>
<p>What is this? Does it have any weight on admissions?</p>
<p>My understanding is that it's more of something where the school picks the student who receives it rather than Caltech. So I guess it would show that your teachers/administrators feel you are the one most qualified in your school to go to Caltech.</p>
<p>Congratulations, btw. What book are they giving out this year?</p>
<p>Yeah it looks similar to the Harvard Prize Book Award, only much cooler. </p>
