<p>Take a chill pill and don’t try to be chanced by strangers who may or may not have the qualifications to chance you. Having made that point, you’re within the competitive range for Caltech (pretty sure you figured that out by yourself). Not much else to say beyond that. Also, you already applied anyway, so what the heck does anyone’s opinion matter beyond that of the admissions committee? </p>

<p>Fun fact: The major you write down on your application doesn’t matter to Caltech.</p>

<p>The 35 science subsection on your ACT will hurt you. Have you considered retaking the ACT or trying the SAT???</p>

<p>actually please do not retake the act… your chances are as good as anyone’s… but caltech is super hard to get into, so nobody at all can give you a resolute estimate.</p>

<p>Good Luck .</p>
