I sent in Common App on Sunday and got confirmation from Common App about payment received. I did not get confirmation yet from Caltech and no link to student portal. Have other applicants gotten these yet? Should I call or wait until after October 1?
My son had the same question. He emailed the admissions office and they said that they don’t open the portals until mid-October.
Good to know, @NWSpinner.
Still no email with link to portal. Has anyone gotten this yet?
Nothing. I guess it will be a last minute thing.
I’m going to have D call on Monday. When she called a few weeks ago to ask about it, she said the person in admissions was kind of rude and told her to wait. I hate it when schools give you a hard time about these things!
Yes. It would be nice if it said on their website “The portal will be open right before the deadline,” or something like that. That could save them a lot of hassle. Please let us know what your daughter finds out. As long as no one has the portal yet, we don’t have to worry that there is a problem with the individual applications.
Hey @NWSpinner, D just called and was told that the email to portal info is sent out after the deadline. The person in admissions didn’t know how long after the deadline it would come but keep your eye open for it. Good luck!
Did anyone get access yet?
We didn’t. I’ll post if/when we do.
I just got the email right now.
Just got it here too.
Us too!
I still haven’t gotten portal access. Has everyone else gotten access already?
I’m no expert, but it seems like if you haven’t gotten access yet and your application was submitted, this would be a good time to call or email the admissions office.
@NWSpinner Thanks, I think I’ll do that.
