rejected. did not see that coming at all.
ACCEPTED!!!
@jjh2003 if you don’t mind me asking what are your stats. Congrats btw!
How the hell is it possible man? SAT scores far above average. Perfect SAT 2. Amazing essays. Amazing EC’s. Dunno what went wrong. Rejected to both Caltech and Georgia Tech in the same day.
S got dinged.
Even me mate, 2300 SAT, 800 Physics, Chem, Math 2, brilliant grades, essays & recommendations. Maybe its because I’m international 
If u don’t mind me asking, what were your stats if you got denied admission?
2260 SAT, 800 Math2 780 Chem, outstanding grades and recommendations. I can’t believe I’ve been waitlisted…
Didn’t know it would be that hard for international students to be admitted.
I’m too scared to check with all these people being rejected/waitlisted. Did you guys get an email on your decision?
