MIT was my plan for grad school

gilded forge
#

MIT doesn’t care about your score the way you think they do

dapper sedge
#

nah mit grad school is actually a little easier to get into

pine prism
#

its okay mit grad school is like any other grad school

dapper sedge
#

like PhDs

pine prism
#

mit undergrad is truly special though

gilded forge
#

They just care that you’re capable of doing well with basic math skills

#

Are there any EA deferrees here?

# dapper sedge what's a theatrical escape room?

It's like a normal one, but you have to play a role you're given and interact with the actor. The game changes based on your convos. Some rooms give you a footage of your game after you're finished it's exactly like a performance.

Horror theatrical escape rooms have a great community here
most of the scenarios are based on our cultural myths, folklore, and creatures and it's so cool

# subtle bramble Really??

It’s probably harder than Harvard since they have similar acceptance rates but MIT isn’t on commonapp so it’s more self selecting

I'm pretty sure AOs can detect that, but people here keep suggesting doing it just for the college apps when that's a pretty bad idea

On behalf of the staff and faculty on the Admissions Committee at the California Institute of Technology, I would like to thank you for your interest in Caltech.

We have no doubt that you will be tremendously successful in the future; while our admissions decision is final, we believe your college journey is only just beginning.

Dear Matthew,

On behalf of the staff and faculty on the Admissions Committee at the California Institute of Technology, I would like to thank you for your interest in the first-year class. We recognize the energy it takes to prepare an application and appreciate the care and thoughtfulness you put into the process. It is with regret that we are unable to offer you a place in our incoming class.

I want to assure you that each application is thoroughly reviewed by members of the Admissions Committee. Our incoming class size remains small at 230 students total, so this means we are passing over many talented students. Caltech has an applicant pool that greatly outpaces the number of spaces available, so this decision is not a negative reflection of your qualifications or your potential to succeed.

We have no doubt that you will be tremendously successful in the future; while our admissions decision is final, we believe your college journey is only just beginning.

Sincerely,

Ashley M. Pallie
Director of Undergraduate Admissions
