<p>One of my guide books stated that CalTech looks especially for applicants who have done science/math research, like one with a university professor. Is this true? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Many but not all students who get admitted have done some reserach in HS. Some students do not have access to reserach facilities and hence it is not held against them. So that in itself is not a disqualification, but you need to still show passion for math and science.</p>
