Do I have any chances at Caltech

Colleges and Universities A-Z California Institute of Technology

<p>SAT: 800M 660CR 690WR</p>

<p>GPA: 4.05/5.0(ranks around 16% in my HS, which I think is VERY weak, although my grades improved exponentially throughout the years of HS. I didn't even know what GPA is in 9th grade)</p>

<p>SAT II's : 800 MATH_II , 800 Chemistry</p>

<p>I probably got 5's on BC Calculus, Chemistry, Statistics AP's (scores are coming out in a few weeks)</p>

<p>I do have some achievements in math competitions such as
2 time USAMO qualifier, AMC school winner, 7 on 2006 ARML, 3rd place in a state math competition this year...</p>

<p>Do I have any chances?</p>

<p>Yea, you're in. You've got USAMO.</p>

3

<p>Is making USAMO really a sure thing at Caltech? Wouldnt your score matter, also?</p>

4

<p>I can't say, but his other stats are pretty good too. Caltech likes strong math students.</p>

5

<p>USAMO is not a sure thing of course, but it's pretty darn impressive.</p>

<p>Why make chances threads? Most of you probably know the answer anyway: you have a chance, and you'll find out in March. Or December.</p>
