Caltech students have long been known for their quirky sense of humor, whether it be through planning creative pranks, building elaborate party sets, or even the year-long preparation that goes into our annual Ditch Day. Please describe an unusual way in which you have fun. (200 word max)
I know the app is due today lmao but I haven’t written this one. Sue me.
Does it have to be like prank-related? That’s what the question seems to imply. I’ve pulled plenty of shenanigans, but they aren’t really things I want them or anyone to know bc i feel like it could potentially be used against me (not THAT bad tho i promise, just broke the rules here and there)
^^^ I talked about twenty one pilots and how they’re really cryptic when they release new stuff, so fans go on these “musical scavenger hunts” and make twitter threads and group chats to discuss theories
This essay will either make or break your admission.
They want to know which ‘unusual way’ you have fun, because you need to create an atmosphere of fun at Caltech.
You need the breaks in between intense study at Caltech. So, they want to know what you would do to have fun. Answer the prompt.
I’m not applying for a few years but does anyone know how Caltech views politics, specifically firearms, one of my main hobbies is Milsim which is like military simulations, camping and guns something similar to airsoft rounds. Do they not want to hear about something firearm related or do they not care. I know CA has some strict knife and guns laws overall and don’t want to hurt my chances at admission by coming off as a violent person.
