<p>I've been waitlisted at Caltech. Can anybody suggest me what supplementary materials should I send to aid my application?? plz plz plz
BTW I am an international, high school graduate. n we hav no research opportunities.</p>
<p>Was there anything your application missed? anything you’ve done since you sent it in? someone else who could write a rec letter with some new side of you? Something you really want them to know about? Basically, think about anything that could make your application stronger, and if that fails, try to explain to them exactly why you belong at tech, why you have to be here. that would be my guess but lizzardfire probably knows better than me.</p>
<p>if nothing else JNT said works for you, i would go with the letter of rec that he mentioned. ideally, the person writing would be of math/science background and would really want you to get in as well. i was deferred early and i feel my math teacher’s rec worked for me.</p>
<p>Thanx a lot. How would a peer reco do? I am thinking about asking a friend who knows me for a long time.</p>
<p>i would stay away from peer recs.</p>
