Class of 2022 Caltech Discussion Thread

Any official update on when decision are released yet?

so excited! :slight_smile: even if I donā€™t get in, I am really happy that I had the opportunity to apply. I just love Caltech lol

@vik0likes0cs I think they release the results this saturday. I have read that they usually release them the saturday before MITā€™s release date, wich is march 14th. Although I am not very sure.

And how are you feeling three days before the decisions come out?

Feeling pretty chill here actually. Tbh, that is only because Iā€™m an international applicant and they take ~20 to ~28 internationals per year so I donā€™t really count on getting in lol. Also, one of the national olympiads is on march 10th too, so that keeps me busy (now because of training and then, well, thatā€™s contest day haha). Good luck everyone <3

Iā€™m a little nervous, but I know things will work out in the end. Caltech was my first collegiate love, all the way back freshman year. If I donā€™t get in, things werenā€™t meant to be and I can always apply again for graduate school.
Iā€™m planning on checking my decision in the beaver dam at my local childrenā€™s museum. Great place in case I get in, which I doubt. : (

Good luck everyone! Less than 3 days now!

Does anyone know what time the decision might come out on March 10th? I just got an impressive award last week and sent them an email about it. Not sure if it can still help at this point.

@HappySquirrel Noon PT, so 3 pm ET.

@HappySquirrel Congratulations on your award! :slight_smile:

Anybody whoā€™s sure about getting accepted?

@frazzledazzle How to you know the date and time? Nothing has been released from the school and no email has been sent to the applicants yet. Is it just based on what has occurred in the past?

@84stag Yes. Looking at the thread for the class of 2021, they donā€™t release an email before it happens. I have a good hunch about Saturday and it makes sense when thinking of it in relation to MIT since they are rival schools after all.

D-Day is tomorrow people woooaaaaaaah :o

@Tomas1355 boii is going to rock it!

Good luck to all of you!

@alluliveforisscience You too!

I made a bet of sorts with myself that if I get in tomorrow Iā€™ll paint my nails orange everyday until graduation, which is 3 months to the day from decision day. If I get in, Iā€™ll be repping my #1 woooooooo!!!
Iā€™m hyped but super nervous. It will all be fine, though. Whatever the decision may be.

Good luck guys!!! I had a dream last night that decisions came out early so I canā€™t wait for it to come even more now :(( :))

The Cal Tech admissions page says ā€œRegular Decision notifications: mid-March.ā€ Thereā€™s nothing specific. It would be thoughtless to not tell the applicants precisely when and how they will be notified. Thatā€™s just being decent and fair.

Hopefully we are all going to be classmates next year! Take care!

@nekanorneki I wish xd Not a lot of hope when they accept so few people (especially internationals. RIP our applications lol)
