<p>Caltech is SUPER selective, but seriously, you have just as good a chance as any competitive appicant. Try to get A’s in your math/science classes over the next year, dedicate yourself to your math/science-related ECs, and score ~800 on the math section of the SAT.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>You have a good chance.</p>
