<p>"There's only one.caltech" </p>
<p>Wow, do they have to rub it in? :( Must they remind us of their greatness even in their rejection letters, arghgh!! </p>
<p>I seriously feel like taking a trip away from home just so I can avoid a rejection letter. Either that or stand at my door and act maniacally so I can scare away the mail carrier! :D</p>
<p>hey Indian,</p>
<p>i have that stamp on my letter too....</p>
<p>darnnnn</p>
<p>rlaqhdus, what does your letter say?</p>
<p>it says the admission committee decided to postpone a decision on my application 'til RD round.
and it asks me to update my application and send midyear report during Feb..
yeah, tat's pretty much it...</p>
<p>darn....mine just says "thanks for applying - you're s&^% outta luck! Have a nice day :)"</p>
<p>Of course, I'm paraphrasing...</p>
<p>My son got accepted. I am sorry, I dont feel I can give any stats.</p>
<p>wait, Indian</p>
<p>i remember seeing ur stat, and i thought it was better than mine...how does this work??? btw, i'm sorry to hear that, i'm pretty much in the same boat...</p>
<p>I just posted yesterday - <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/432095-alright-i-give-up-i-cant-hold-anymore.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/432095-alright-i-give-up-i-cant-hold-anymore.html</a></p>
<p>I have like a feeling of odd detachment right now - I don't feel bad at all... Being rejected has a final quality about it. Now I don't need to worry about Caltech in RD, at least...</p>
<p>The anticipation is killing me!
Indian, my stats are kinda similar to yours. I have a lot less academic awards and research. But I have a really good hook. Gosh I'm scared :O</p>
<p>I'll probably receive the Caltech (rejection) letter the same day as MIT's tubular contraption: Saturday. </p>
<p>My friends and I have decided we will have three plans: </p>
<p>A) Party indulgently to escape the reality of defeat
B) Party indulgently to revel in the reality of success
C) Party indulgently because we just don't know</p>
<p>Well, MIT is online, so no tube on saturday - I think it's a couple of days later...</p>
<p>Man. Crap. I think I'm going to get rejected...</p>
<p>I hate waiting. You'd think the institute of technology would put decisions online, huh? lol</p>
<p>I think they're just taunting us sublimally.
"We want you...we don't want you...we want you...we don't want you...but we want you to wait."
AAaaah!</p>
<p>I think I get mine tomorrow if mail from california reaches texas in 2 days.</p>
<p>Damn those sadistic admissions officers! :(</p>
<p>admissions makes no sense to me at all. i just took a look at Indian's stats and im shocked. i noe ppl who got into caltech last year with much weaker stats and ecs than Indian. one was a pretty avg guy w/ good stats but nothing really special. caltech wasn't really that good of a fit for him and he didnt end up going. it just seems weird that Indian would get a straight out rejection when last year they accepted much weaker applicants. hmmm...</p>
<p>that's how i feel, mjchiu2k</p>
<p>i am in norcal. we are probably getting it tomorrow.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>Haha, thanks, that makes me feel loads better :)</p>
<p>Whatever tho, I doubt I really would have gone to Caltech even if I had gotten in - it's a bit too close and intense, but that's just me.</p>
<p>Maybe it all turned out for the best, ya know?</p>
<p>mjchiu2k, i was looking at last year's EA applicants. I noticed a trend that all the accepted applicants had...800 in Math. Everything else was pretty much the same as Indian's.</p>
<p>ahhhh i only got 780 on SAT 1 MATH
but 800 in MATh2C 5 Calc BC as sophomore
and AIME since 8th grade... is that okay??
i am really scared now !!!</p>
