<p>O.K., this list is getting old now, so let's try to find out a bit more about each other.
What are your main areas of academic interest?
Where else are you intending to apply?
What region/state are you from?</p>

<p>How many of you also applied to Caltech early? It's iactually harder to get into Caltech early than MIT's ealry.</p>

<p>I also applied to Caltech EA. But, from the stats I've read, I think it might be slightly easier to get into Caltech EA than into MIT EA (although life in Pasadena might actually be harder).
Any words of wisdom, xxxzxxx?</p>

<p>Why did y'all apply early here? Did you take advantage of the non-single-choice-ness of EA? Did anyone not interview?</p>

<p>Mathson also applied EA to Caltech, MIT is first choice however. He did interview. Mathmom encouraged EA because she didn't want to spend winter break nagging about applications! My kid isn't going to look any different in January and no matter when the applications were due he was unlikely to start writing those essays until the last possible minute. Since MIT was a clear first choice there was no reason not to apply early.</p>

<p>To magd: since you are a girl too, your chance of getting Caltech and MIT early is very large (higher than guys, I meant). I got in Caltech early last year, but already had all my heart for MIT :)</p>

<p>"...your chance of getting Caltech and MIT early is very large (higher than guys, I meant)."
Thanks for the info., but, if it's true, to all the guys out there -- sorry.</p>
