<p>do you send only SAT scores or all the scores you filled in the supplyment form?(because i heard people said that you dont send AP score until you got in, its $15 per school, pretty expensive)
well, i think i know how to send SAT and AP score, but what about AMC and AIME? do you contact the test agency and tell them to send your AMC/AIME score to caltech?
as for awards and community servie, what do you do with it? do you have to send in some sort of proofs?</p>

<p>also, i didnt see the caltech supplyment form in common app, nor teacher evaluation form. Where are they?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>everything but SATs are self reported. You don't need to send AP either. So there is a spot on the application to put those scores in.</p>

<p>Caltech does not use the common app. They have there own application that you have to fill out.</p>

<p>Sol, I see Caltech listed on the common app schools list but was not aware that it actually accepted the common app. I guess we'll wait for Ben Golub's response, but I can't see an application as unique as Caltech's being substituted for with the common app without a supplement.</p>

<p>AP scores are, I believe, sent without cost. The $15 is for changing or adding schools for the score to be sent to after a certain deadline in June.</p>

<p>I originally had my AP scores sent to Cornell, but when I decided to go to Caltech instead, I didn't bother with changing because Caltech really has no use for the scores in terms of placement. </p>

<p>As for the common app, Caltech is apparently one of the newly</a> added members for this next admissions cycle. I find this strange and a little sad. I would've thought Caltech would have a more "Don't surrender to the Borg!" attitude. I'm sure in time the supplements will be added to the website. It's a little too early to worry about that yet.</p>

<p>That said, through my experience with applying to several schools via the Common App: the Common App interface sucks. Meanwhile, the Caltech online application rocks. I think that's enough said there. You want to feel happy and peachy and tropical when applying for college, not a sense of mind-boggling corporate assimilation and despair at form ugliness.</p>

<p>I applied to eight colleges... Caltech, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Georgia Tech, and UF. Caltech had by far the best application. enjoy it :-D</p>
