CHANCE ME FOR CALTECH PLZ C'MON PEOPLE

@therealthuglyfe No, numbers are not the only thing they consider, but you would probably have the lowest SAT there as a student or be in the bottom few percent. Your GPA is stellar, so that’s good, and it’s good that you also take dual enrollment classes. Nothing seems to stand out so much about your extracurriculars. 1000+ volunteer hours is very good, and your internship seems like a plus, but everything else is something a lo of people can have. It is basically a requirement that everyone who goes to Caltech has taken calculus in high school, so you met that requirement, but only barely with Calc AB. I’m betting most people have done at least Calc BC, Multivariable Calc, and Linear Algebra in high school who are at Caltech, though maybe going up to Linear Algebra is maybe a bit of an exaggeration.

Never mind, excuse me. Your ACTs are pretty good, but on the lower end for Caltech. Still, your SAT subject test in Math is really low for Caltech.
