<p>Here’s the letter:</p>
<p>April 10, 2009</p>
<p>Dear -----,</p>
<p>Thank you for your application to the 2009 Caltech YESS program. We have completed our application review period and we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a space in this year’s program. </p>
<p>Admission to the YESS program was significantly competitive this year. The program received a record number of over 750 applications. Unfortunately, we do not have space to admit all qualified candidates. </p>
<p>You are a highly-qualified applicant and you should be proud of your accomplishments. We encourage you to continue to pursue your interest in science and engineering and to consider applying for admission to Caltech next year. </p>
<p>For more information on undergraduate admissions at Caltech, please visit [Caltech</a> Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.caltech.edu%5DCaltech”>http://admissions.caltech.edu) </p>
<p>We wish you the best in your future plans.</p>
<p>Sincerely, </p>
<p>Luz M. Rivas

<p>Ah, oh well, rejected. Good luck to all those still pending.</p>
<p>It came…REJECTED…</p>
<p>Well, we know that rejection from the YESS Program doesn’t mean rejection from Caltech as a university!
Hope to see you guys at Caltech (if I get in…)</p>
<p>yep, rejection…
I was kinda expecting it. anyone got in? I guess it is only emphasized on minority, and I am an asian.</p>
<p>I’m Hispanic with a strong resume and got rejected. Pretty bummed…congrats to anyone who got in!</p>

<p>rejected toooooooo!</p>
<p>geez nobody got in yet it seems. could it be YESS does not have any rich alumini donate for it this year, they are basically just rejecting everyone.</p>
<p>wait, so no body from cc got in?
apocalypse?!</p>
<p>i didn’t get in either! x]</p>
<p>maybe this is kinda like the thing at uc san diego, where they sent everyone accepts ( but in this case rejects)
perhaps there will be a surprise in the morning.</p>
<p>haha i wish</p>
<p>lol what if they rejected everyone cause they had to cancel the program</p>
<p>^that would make me feel better about the rejection.</p>
