<p>Is it worth spending the money to apply if your scores look like this:</p>
<p>SAT 1 CR 800 M 760 W 790
SAT 2 M2 740 PHYS 770 US HIS 760</p>
<p>Try to get a higher score on your M2, but it's definitely worth applying. (Unless of course these scores are all you have).
It's impossible to judge an app on solely scores. Give more info.</p>
<p>I apologize if my info is inaccurate, or if I misjudge you in some way. Your post history currently indicates you are at Wharton right now, and have had a lot of trouble in selecting/finding schools you wish to attend, stemming from counselor choosing schools for you. </p>
<p>You would apply as a transfer applicant, for which your SAT scores don't mean much (well, you're not required to submit them at all). Instead, you need to check the Caltech admissions page for transfer applicants. I can tell you right off the bat, you need to look at the Caltech core curriculum, and take corresponding math and physics courses. Also, there are entrance exams in math and physics that you must take while applying. Transfer admissions are extremely competitive.</p>
<p>Actually answering your question, ya, your SAT scores are in the range, though your SAT II math is on the low side. </p>
<p>If I may ask, why your interest in Caltech all of a sudden?</p>
<p>I like science more than business.</p>
<p>So why did you go to Wharton over UChicago? Assuming your interest in science is recent, couldn't you switch out of Wharton and take science curriculum at UPenn? It's a very prestigious school, an ivy, etc. I'm sure they have good science programs, and besides, college is what you make of it, regardless of where you go. </p>
<p>Actually, in the likely event that you don't want to hear any more of this from me, just don't reply, and I'll drop it, and leave the thread alone. It's really none of my business anyway.</p>
