I just wanted to compare stats with someone who’s currently going to Caltech to get some perception of my chances of getting in 
I am Asian american, in a 2500 or so student high school, Southern California, 4.42 gpa is 5th in my class of 599. This GPA is weighted.
-nmsqt semifinalist (maybe I’ll be finalist, who knows).
-SAT 1 score was 780 reading, 770 math, 690 writing, 2240 total
Sophomore ap tests:
Calculus ab, 5
Junior ap tests:
Calculus bc, 5
Chemistry, 4
Physics 1, 4
Composition, 5
US history, 4
Biology, 5
Environmental science, 5
I got the national ap scholar award. And I took the redesigned October SAT 1 to see if I could increase my scores (because my 2240 won’t get me into caltech).
But I didn’t take any subject tests yet so I’m doing Chemistry, Molecular bio, Math 2, in November :))
I am also taking Gen Chemistry w/ lab at Pomona and Multivariable Calculus at Pitzer this year (this kind of gives away my location, but oh well)
:(( Don’t stalk me pls!!
I am doing a research project with one of my professors (who offers to write a letter of rec).
Extracurricular:
Wrestling (132-138lb), junior varsity 11th-12th
Tennis, junior varsity 9th-11th, team captain for two years
Future business leaders of america (FBLA) president
Piano CM lvl advanced
(I don’t have many extra curricular activities).
Even if you’re not in caltech, if you have a friend who did or a good idea of the type of person who would be accepted, I would love to hear your thoughts!!
