Could anyone please read my essay for why Caltech and let me know their honest opinion? I’d appreciate it so much - PM me, please.
Your best bet is to ask someone at your high school to read your essay.
Our son attends Caltech; he asked his coach, teacher and/or Principal to read his essays.
@“aunt bea” I will, thank you! I’ve done that with my other essays and I always just get a “yeah it’s (really) good” but I want this to be like That one that’ll make my application because I love Caltech so much… maybe I’m looking too much into it though lol
I would recommend that you not fall in love with a school. Did you actually visit and see how small it is?
You need to have multiple options. What will you do when you don’t get in?
They only take ~200 students worldwide. Leave your options open.
Get a true evaluation from someone who knows you.
Oh, and I just read your other post.
Caltech (nor any other university) recruited you for their team?
That’s what recruited athlete indicates: that you have been recruited by a school to be on their college team.
@“aunt bea” yeah, I’ve already applied to 3 others and have some more apps I’ll do after this one. And I totally get what you mean - can’t get too attached to something you don’t have! Thanks for the advice
