42

<p>Rejected. 1530 SAT. I know they don't take that many international applicants, but it still hurts.</p>

43

<p>yy0712-Thx! I'm a US dual citizen so they probably didn't consider me as an international.
miniminimanimo-Oh! Hi, KMJ! :) Nice to see you. ;)</p>

<p>yah ... purity got that FedEx ... she'll have a tough time choosing between MIT, Cal, n dozens of others that are to follow ... </p>

<p>have fun!</p>

<p>I live in Tanzania, where the only addresses are PO boxes, to which Fedex cannot deliver. Street addresses don't exist here, as street names and house numbers are not standardized. I didn't get any bad news on Wednesday, so I suppose that means I'm accepted, but I emailed Caltech's admissions office and they wouldn't confirm anything. I then emailed again explaining the situation with addresses here and they have yet to reply. Any ideas?</p>

<p>Find out who your admissions officer is (ask the secretary) and call on the phone :)</p>

<p>I got a package from Caltech today !
I'm from s.korea!</p>

51

<p>Congrats!! do you live in seoul?</p>

52

<p>yay!
How many of your acceptees applied for aid?
'cause i got waitlisted and applied for aid</p>

53

<p>Sounds like a lot of Korean acceptees this year!;) I'm from Incheon, and I know four other koreans who've got the big envelop last week.. oh and by the way yy0712, i didn't apply for the aid.</p>

54

<p>How could there be only 15 internationals accepted?! 5 people were admitted from singapore... how can 1/3 of the acceptees come from one country?</p>

55

<p>I believe 15 international students needing financial aid were accepted, and more no-need students, too. If I'm not wrong.</p>

56

<p>I wrote to Tech's Office of Undergraduate Admissions and was told that "this year we had over 500 international applicants and have offered admission to 50 students." So I don't think it's just 15? </p>

<p>Still. Having S'poreans = 10% of intls is supercool. <em>grins</em></p>

57

<p>yeah it is!:-) Wow I thought Caltech would have more int'l applicants though. MIT had >2000 int'l applicants.</p>

58

<p>really? i was told by an admissions officer that 15 was accepted out of 5/400, and the acceptance rate was around 3%. I dunno now</p>

59

<p>At least 8 were accepted from Korea, so I find it highly doubtful that it was only 15. Maybe he/she said 15 when he/she meant 50. Anyway Caltech sure did accept a lot more internationals than before.</p>

<p>It could be that 15 were those requiring complete financial aid, and the rest paid part of their way. The standards for the categories are different.</p>
