Caltech Waitlist 2023

First was to state U, which one had to do to hold a place in Honors housing. Next was the college my child would have gone to.

Anyone heard anything? acceptances or releases?

@polq123 not a word…

nope

Sad…

I know some people have been taken off the waitlist already a week or two ago

@anya00 thank you for sharing, do you know how many were offered a spot?

@BeCheap4me2 No, but we had ~4 people join the admitted group chat around the same time so I’d assume somewhere around there.

@anya00 how do you know they were taken off of the waitlist? Now I’m on edge that they won’t take any more…

@polq123 One of them I know for sure was a waitlist admit because our parents are friends, and I assumed the others were waitlist admits as well because of the timing - they all joined roughly around the same time. If I were you, I wouldn’t get too emotionally invested in the WL; instead, focus on loving the school you’re committed to. This way, if it’s a rejection, it hurts a little less but if it’s an acceptance, it’s a nice surprise.

should we assume all is lost?

@BeCheap4me2 I’d like to hope not but I mean it’s mid-June… :frowning:

Yes…in the first few weeks of May, I heard a lot of shifting on the lists…much less now. Where are you headed?

@BeCheap4me2 Cornell in their College of Engineering. What about you?

Congrats! My son is going to UCLA Civil Engineering. He has a good friend who is going to Cornell. She was on the waitlist, and SIR’d at UCB…maybe you’ll meet!?
