<p>Just wondering if my chances would be lower or higher since after searching previous years' CC posts I've seen more acceptances from Caltech in conjunction with rejections from MIT. </p>
<p>And on another note: Do you think Caltech pushed back their decisions just so they could release it before MIT? I thought Caltech was releasing it at 3/20 but all of a sudden they released it this Saturday... makes me wonder if it was a tactic to get to the students first before MIT did.</p>
<p>lovelybones- Caltech has an unofficial tradition of releasing decisions roughly two days before MIT does on Pi Day.</p>
<p>but your rejection from one school doesn’t characterize your admission/rejection to another. maybe you have something that MIT likes but cal didnt</p>
<p>
I would be very surprised if this were true. If we had access to all cross-admit data from everywhere, I am confident that we would see that acceptance to Caltech is correlated (though not perfectly by any stretch of the imagination) with acceptance to MIT.</p>
<p>Eh, we’re in the same position LovelyBones. Let’s just hope for the best!</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em>…same position, although I think my chances are extremely slim, seeing as 1) I don’t think my stats are the greatest, especially since I am a “typical” Asian applicant applying for biomed, and 2) my interviewer has only had one student admitted from my area throughout her several years of interviews…</p>
<p>I’m in the same position as well I believe, my stats are fine (the only downturn being SAT, I gave TOEFL and fared better there though) and maybe on my extracurriculars a bit (didn’t had much opportunities yet I utilized whatever I could). I wasn’t able to get an interview though (the capacity for scheduling an interview with my interviewer got full)</p>
<p>Same here; waitlisted by Caltech and waiting for MIT! xD</p>
<p>@Lovely- I pretty much agree with CPU.
Personally, I was accepted EA for MIT, but deferred/rejected for Caltech, so who knows. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>good luck to all, MIT ftw</p>
<p>
And my son’s best friend was accepted at Caltech and waitlisted at MIT. I think the waitlist shows that you are in the ballpark. So that’s a good sign, but no guarantee of anything.</p>
<p>Last year, I was waitlisted by Caltech and rejected by MIT. I wouldn’t let this discourage you, though; one person is an extremely small sample! Good luck!</p>
<p>I was rejected by Caltech, and accepted by MIT. Never thought that would happen…</p>
<p>I got waitlisted by Caltech, and accepted by MIT!!! Oh my gosh! From the posts in this threat, I was expecting a rejection or a waitlist… I thought there was no hope for me! lksjdf;lkajsd;lfj;asd</p>
<p>EXCUSE ME WHILE I ECSTATICALLY GO RUN AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HUG EVERY SINGLE PERSON I PASS BY</p>
<p>Mine is the opposite: accepted by Caltech but waitlisted by MIT. I’d really love to go to Boston though. ):</p>
<p>Congrats LovelyBones!</p>
