Same! Denied by Caltech and waiting for UChi and SAT 1530 too! Haha!
I think ur gpa is perfect! And your activities are much better than mine I think, especially a peom and a book. I’m wondering why Caltech rejected you.
From my perspective, you are a really good student for UChi. But it is hard to tell what the AOs are thinking.
